By Thursday evening, officials at Qwest Field got hold of the video and responded:
"We discovered the cups that are marked 16 oz. hold 20 oz. of liquid. Fans who purchased a 16 oz. beer actually received 20 oz. of beer for the 16 oz. price," they wrote.
As a result, only 20 ounce beers will be served at Saturday's playoff game against the Saints, and Qwest will charge the 16 ounce price.
Kind of hard to believe that they just discovered that fact. I would imagine they have to do audits on alcohol sales. I know a keg isn't an exact science, but sales would surely not match up with the quantity of alcohol per keg. At least they came forward about it.
