Qwest Field Official Statement:
"“We received a copy of the YouTube video showing the quantity of liquid served in the 16 oz. beer cup is the same quantity that fits into the 20 oz. beer cup. This is the first time we have been alerted to this fact. Upon our internal investigation this afternoon, 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. Fans that purchased the 20 oz. beer received the amount they purchased. We are working with Levy Restaurants to follow up with the cup vendor about the measurement and to determine how long this has been occurring at Qwest Field. We are determined to find a solution as quickly as possible. In the meantime, we will serve domestic beer in the 20 oz. cup at tomorrow’s playoff game to ensure all fans receive the amount they purchase, and we will charge the 16 oz. price.”

At least they're being nice about it, and not charging everyone the 20 oz size. But how much money have they lost because this cup company isn't doing right?
I'm questioning their records keeping.
How does (4 oz * several thousand buyers) go unnoticed?
I'd imagine there's a lot of overflow when they fill up the cups, so maybe they aren't super precise in their records?
how does a 16oz cup fit 20oz but a 20 oz cup only fit 20oz?
In the video the 16oz cup looks thinner but a bit taller? Hard to tell though.
the $8 cup is taller, thus making it look like it would hold more.
