The Spaghetti Policy

Pursuant to the 'Marinara Clause' and a strict reading of the dietary exceptions, spaghetti is a hard NO unless you've successfully petitioned the stadium office for a medical need for pasta. However, if we can argue that a single noodle is technically a 'bag' under the Bag Policy, I could potentially litigate our way into a bowl of linguine via the same loophole I used to win that bird law case in '92.

Unofficial, untangled, and legally meaningless. Trust the real rules above.
