The Spaghetti Policy
Pursuant to the 'Pasta Precedent,' since outside food is permitted and a soft-sided cooler qualifies as a mobile noodle-silo, the verdict is a resounding YES. Provided your marinara is in a factory-sealed clear plastic container to satisfy the 'Liquid Loophole' of the beverage rule, you may legally commute your spaghetti to the stadium. Any attempt by security to stop you is a mere breach of the 'Al Dente Doctrine,' and I shall see them in court.
Unofficial, untangled, and legally meaningless. Trust the real rules above.
