## Resource

FIFA just dropped a major surprise on World Cup fans: no personal water bottles, cups, jars, or cans allowed in stadiums—despite earlier saying clear, reusable bottles were fine. Citing safety and preventing thrown objects, the ban hits hard amid scorching summer heat, especially at open-air MetLife Stadium starting June 13. FIFA promises hydration stations and cooling tents, but fans are furious. Add to that a strict clear bag policy, bans on weapons, helmets, fireworks, strollers, skateboards, and even large paper stacks—and NJ Transit’s matching rules for public transit. It’s all about security, but many feel it’s unnecessarily restrictive and uncomfortable for fans braving the heat. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
