Does anyone know why

[coralville]

we are not permitted to take unopened flavored water into Kinnick?

injected with vodka possibly who knows

Because then it becomes a 'refreshment' rather than just water? If you want flavored water, they want you to buy it from them, probably.

why do you have to put food in a clear plastic bag? The rules are dumb, impossible to rationalize.

this is the answser. they don't want you bringing alcohol into the stadium.

I've seen/heard of some pretty crazy ways of bringing in booze, and emptying a water container by draining from the bottom so you don't have to open the top is just one of them.

Mostly because of concession sales. Everything other benefit is just sprinkles on ice cream.

If you bring your own water, you won't have to pay for theirs. I assume they wouldn't let you bring in a personal pan pizza or tray of nachos either.

I see the OP point. You can bring in unopened regular water, so why not flavored water?

i know you can't bring unopened cans of pop in! just readjust the hiding spot, and pick a new line to enter the stadium!

I just put my cans of soda down the front of my pants, then have my fiance tell the guy at the gate I'm hung like a coke can.

But I made the mistake once by putting it in the back.

For the same reason you cannot bring your own popcorn to the movie theatre.

Just bring the regular bottle of water and have some of those flavor packets in your pocket. Problem solved!

Iowa is more liberal than most stadiums. Most places dont allow you to take any liquid beverages into stadium. They want their concessions to do good business.

IDK. If that's the policy, my guess only: plain water is essential for hydration, so while the university wants you to buy everything from them they are not going to object if you bring your own while sitting in the sun for 3-4 hours on a warm afternoon. Flavored water, soda, juice, etc., on the other hand, are choices, and the university would be very pleased to sell them to you ... for well above wholesale.

They only allow small clear unopened bottles now, I tried to bring in one of thos $.59 dejablue 1 liter bottles from the hyvee gas station. They allowed them last year but not this year.

They would have more business if they took debit cards. I always forget to bring enough cash.
