16 = 20 in Seattle The Seattle Seahawks may have a losing record. But the team's beer-drinking fans are starting off with a win.The team investigated after a video posted on YouTube demonstrated that the large and small beers sold at Qwest Field contained the same amount of liquid — even though one was marked 20 ounces and cost $1.25 more than the one marked 16 ounces. The findings? The cups that were marked as containing 16 oz. actually held 20 oz. of beer.

At the next game the stadium is selling all 20-oz. domestic brews at the 16-oz. price.
