How Do You Feel About This Funky New Cup Holder for Red Rocks?

It does seem like a brilliant idea: A gizmo to hook into the seat benches at Red Rocks Amphitheatre to hold your pricey drink. Nobody likes a spilled beer, but is it really a 'great' idea?

Heaven knows that I have bought my share of $12 beers at Red Rocks and been paranoid that someone (or myself) will kick it over while it's sitting on the ground/walkway, while I hoot, holler and clap for a band; for that, I can see where this is great.

According to The Gazette, this gizmo is the Red Rock Cup Holder, a creation of someone who has done security at Red Rocks. It makes sense: who better to see a 'better way' to handle drinks at the venue, than someone who's seen plenty of shows and spilled drinks.

Why the Red Rock Cup Holder May Not Be a Great Idea

I would be bound to leave it behind. I would make a big deal about how I have this great cup holder, and then after 3 beers during a Matchbox 20 show, I'd be in the parking lot before I remembered it.
When I watch the assembly of the cup holder, I picture a drunk patron taking it apart, and using the stick as a weapon. Is that paranoid?
$20 seems pricey, especially if I have to get one each time because I forget to bring them home.
