Allowing the water is good, but without the top is running the risk of it being poisoned. Where would the stadium operators stand if someone slipped something in someones open drink that they've forced to be open?
They have a similar policy at the O2 for concerts but you can have any drink as long as it doesn't have the top (and they make you throw the top in the bin in front of them). First time I went it caught me out. Second time, I had a spare lid in my pocket (accidentally of course) that I was able to use once past the stewards.
If everyone stopped enjoying it or stopped paying the prices it'd probably change but all the time they get money out of it they aren't going to be putting it back too soon I guess
