Let us take it in. We aren't going to buy your $3 bottle of water even if you don't let us bring in our own. It's just absurd. It doesn't do anyone any good.

And what is wrong with bringing an empty bottle with you and filling it at the event? Maybe I'm old, but I am from the days when bottled water was non-existent and everyone drank from water fountains. No one ever passed out from dehydration.
And for the security guards at the Dome, give them a break. With so many of them there will be different interpretations at different gates. They are human after all. It is not a high paying job and I bet they could easily lose their job if they allow exceptions. So be gracious and accommodate them even if you disagree. Gracious professionalism isn't just for behavior on the field.
And don't forget, next time, that judges do watch your team's behavior off the field. How would you feel if your team lost an award because a judge observed your fit of temper at the gate?
