OT: LFL Coolers

[HotMop]

What do you see that fits the 10x10 requirement? Can we convince Yeti to make a new custom sized for lounge use?

 

[Col. Forbin]

You can bring large coolers in during the time frame that they allow you to bring all other stuff into the lounge.

 

[HotMop]

Unfortunately I'm not always available during that window and will need to bring in a personal cooler.

I think it gets revised/revisited when we have full capacity to allow for a normal soft side 20, maybe even 30. Personally I think they avoid enforcing on 20qt softsides or half the people walking in are going to be upset. 10/10/10 without violating at least one dimension is basically only a lunch box.

Search Amazon they have the dimensions in the product details.

Coleman 9 Can Removable Liner Cooler

• Product Dimensions: 9.2 x 7.5 x 9.5 inches ; 11 ounces

I have been searching for a cooler to fit the dimensions off and on all day, igloo has a 6 can hard cooler that will fit and they have a 12 can soft cooler with a rigid liner that just misses. Where did they come up with these dimensions, out of thin air? If they measured actual coolers, it would be nice if they would tell us the acceptable brands and model numbers. Why didn't they just choose a cooler and have the book store order several hundred and call it the official Dude cooler and at least make a buck off of it. Remember that the "Baseball Water" must not be visible when opened so you are going to lose some capacity with cover.

 

[HotMop]

Yeah, that's what led me to start this thread. You can't find a decent hard sized cooler that doesn't have one dimension at least 10.75". Who knows how close they'll check but it'd be my luck to walk up to the gate worker with a set of calipers.

It does seem like 12x12 would make more sense. A cooler the size of a Hopper Flip 8 would certainly seem reasonable enough, and it is 11.5x10.5x8.
That said, I doubt very seriously if they would actually turn you away on the size of that cooler (unless one of their rules of thumb is "all yetis are too big" which is technically true)

I bought the wife a clear purse, I insured and licensed my golf cart at a not insignificant cost, I pay the ticket and parking pass increases year after year, and now they want me to sit through 3 1/2 to 4 hours of baseball with me and the Mrs drinking out of a six can cooler? I kinda get the feeling they don't want me at their sporting events.

It may partially be security, but they're probably wanting you to buy drinks and food at the concession stands. More money that way.

They don't sell beer at the concession stands, watching baseball without a cold beer in your hand goes against everything that is right in the universe. It's communism disguised as capitalism I tell ya! The next thing will be them telling us we can't stand for the Star Spangled Banner prior to first pitch. Holy ****, where's the Tylenol!

 

[GTAdawg]

I saw someone get turned away at the gate with a roll around. Appears they are going to follow through.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

I'm hoping the crackdown is aimed at the rollers and large coolers toted in by 2 guys as opposed to personal coolers. In the old LFL, you could find plenty of room to drop a large cooler somewhere. Not anymore, I imagine.

 

[Dawgcap]

We were checked with a backpack cooler! 12 in with couple waters covering. No issues. My worry is they may get stricter if people act stupid or don’t put garbage in a can.

What do you see that fits the 10x10 requirement?

I got in with a personal cooler that was slightly larger than 10x10. It was business as usual: They checked the inside, couldn't see the beer under my ice and waved me thru. Nobody on the event staff was holding a tape measure and checking cooler sizes. Just don't try to come in with something absurdly large and you'll be fine. I assume the 10x10x10 requirement was something determined by security analyst at an insurance firm. Probably the same reason we have to post that cowbells are prohibited when they are in fact not policed.

Good info guys. So it seems the soft side 20s should be good to go? Guess I've been needing one of those for awhile.

I saw several Yeti Hoppers turned away, both 20's and 30's. I would stick to a 13qt cooler and the square versions seemed to draw less scrutiny than the bag type.

The person in front of me got searched pretty hard and was refused admittance. Probably because they had a ****** collapsable Coleman from Walmart. Totally deserved it. When I strolled up to the attendant, she took one look at my Yeti Tank 85, Costa Slack Tides (Tortoise and 580G lenses of course), and 4-inch inseam on my Chubbies...she didn't even bother scanning my ticket. She knew I belonged.
