Assuming this video is real, and hasn’t been doctored in any way, it appears that Seahawk fans have been paying an extra $1.25 for a “large” cup of beer that just happens to hold the exact same amount of liquid a regular cup of beer. Since the “large” cup is taller, it appears that it’s bigger, but the circumference of the regular cup is greater towards the base and that allows it to hold the same volume.
I would imagine that this is some sort of oversight and not a nefarious act by the company that runs the concession stands, but who knows. It is obviously quite easy to prove the two cups hold the same amount of liquid, so there’s a lot of downside if the company is/was intentionally trying to screw over their customers.
Great find by the Seahawk Nation Blog.
