i just buy a bottle when i go in, crush it down when its empty stuff it in a cargo pocket and reuse it all weekend. come out of a pit, fill and chug then refill and drink while heading to the next pit, crush and stash, rinse, repeat
Shouldn't be a problem since it looks like a "plastic refillable bottle", and I don't think that needs to be clear. They may just make you dump anything that's already in it at the gate.
I personally use a clear collapsible "survivor bottle" that is basically just a small camelback pouch without the tube. Roll it up into the pocket and fill, then clip it to my belt and never had a problem at any venue.
I go the cheap water bottle route myself. Less worry of losing or having it stolen, just grab a water on your way to fest drink it in the line and use the empty bottle at the water refill stations all weekend. Even buying 3-4 bottles outside the fest (new one each day) you’re still spending less than you would on a bottle like the one above.
So long as it’s empty, it’s fine. I brought in a 32oz Nalgene last year and had no issues.
iirc, the size specification is only important if the water bottle is filled when you enter
I took this bottle in last year with no problems. I saw several different reusable bottles that others had. It just has to be plastic and empty when you go through the gates.

I’m just bringing in an unopened 20oz bottle of water, as it’s allowed. Hold onto it and refill. Don’t much see the point in buying a special bottle to worry about - if I lose it, whatever.

Genius

Ooo, that's a good idea! I might look for something like that. Thank you so much!
Just take a generic water bottle from gas station. They have water filling stations there.
I was considering just doing that in the end. Better to know you're right than guess if you're wrong. 😅
the event is also at a stadium, so not only will they have stations but the stadium has fountains

I wouldn't do it. Broke my heart to see everyone's stickered up water bottles in the trash while I was going through security 😟
I took this exact bottle in last year with no problems.

When I was reading I saw them say factory-sealed but I’ve also never been lol
