(Coors and MGD for > $7.75...still ricockulous.) But what size was the cup? At the Oracle Arena next door, they sell a large 24oz. beer (Bud, Bud Lite, Bud Select) for $8.00 which I personally think is a better deal than the $5.00 they want for a 20oz. bottle of water. Since I've been to many restaurants that now charge $4.00 for a 12oz bottle of beer, $8.00 for 24oz. doesn't seem as outrageous to me than spending $5.00 for a bottle of purified water (Aquafina). :( - Peter
