If I remember correctly, the rule is that you should NOT do this at ANY event out of respect for the arena and its staff.

...Yup, found it in the manual, among other Arena rules.

2011 Manual, Section 4 "At The Events", 4.16
  • Do not bring food onto the site. If you bring food, do not bring it onto the property.
  • Do not distribute any food products, such as candy, water, soft drinks or fruit

It doesn't matter if you can 'get away with it' at your regional. It's against the rules, and you shouldn't do it.

That said, a big THANK YOU to IndySam and to all the suggestions listed. Definitely take these to heart!
