I order a coca cola at the Miami Duke game

Pay the $4.50 and she takes the cap off and throws it away

Seems they have a problem with fans throwing the caps at the players on the court

I had a blast and met a lot of great people at the game, both Duke and Miami fans. Matter of fact I sat a couple rows behind the chick who was holding the sign upside down with a marriage proposal that was all over Sportscenter for those that saw it.

You just can't beat a day at the races at Gulfstream Park and then cap it off with a good College Basketball game

It's not the cap they are concerned with. If they take the cap you can not as easily throw the full bottle at someone. If you throw a full bottle without the cap it loses a lot of weight on the way down.

i believe they take the caps 'cuz a full bottle hurts a lot more than one that empties itself on the way to a target.
btw......how the hell to you pay $ to see the pukies play ....

NOT allowing the student section in for a couple games would cure that problem.

Raymond James in Tampa does the same. When I buy bottled water for my kids, the vendor takes the caps and throws them away, I reach in my pocket, pull out the caps that I brought from home and put them right back on bottle.

It only took one spilled $4 bottle of water for me to figure that one out.

I have encountered capless bottles only once in stadiums/arenas. Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots, does same thing. And are so damn friendly like they doing you a favor!

Security there was over-the-top... Electronic wands, patdowns, etc. Went to Fenway Park two nights later, handed ticket to attendant & walked right into park!

Ingenious!

Fed Ex Field also does the same (pretty sure Verizon Center as well), had to learn the hard way when i was double fisting and wanted to keep the 2nd beer cold, i was SOL. Just made me drink the first one faster though, probably a marketing scheme by "the man" to make you drink more, damn him
