Do not mess with fans’ beer!
A video was created Saturday night at an ECHL Idaho Steelheads game at the CenturyLink arena in Boise, Idaho, showing a fan pour a LARGE $7 beer into a small $4 cup. So, what is odd about this situation? Well, both cups hold the same amount of liquid. Of course, that will tick most fans off. Now, the arena is facing a lawsuit.
“While different shapes, both cup sizes hold substantially the same amount of liquid and are not large versus small in actual capacity,” the group’s attorney, Wyatt Johnson, wrote in the lawsuit. “Defendants knowingly sold each of their beers in a similar manner at each event held at the arena where beer was sold for at least the last five years.”
On Monday, the president of the Steelheads and CenturyLink arena made an apology for the cups fraud on Facebook.
“It was recently brought to our attention that the amount of beer that fits in our large (20-oz) cups also fits in our regular (16-oz) cups. The differentiation in the size of the two cups is too small. To correct that problem, we’re purchasing new cups for the large beers that will hold 24 ounces, instead of 20, for the remainder of this season to provide better value to our fans.”
