Fairfield Intermediate deputy principal Lisa Morresey was disappointed with stadium management for what she said was a financially based decision which resulted in her students being forced to throw away food they had taken to the stadium on Thursday.
"Kids were begging them (security staff) not to throw out their lunches. One of the security guards must have felt pity because he contacted his boss to ask if it was really necessary.
"His boss said that no food was to be taken in and so the children were made to empty their lunch boxes."
The school had told the 26 students to bring a packed lunch, not money, to the game and most went without food from 11am to 3pm.
A few of the children managed to sneak in fruit, Mrs Morresey said.
Bruce Storrie was shocked when his son told him what had happened.
"I thought, how could they do this to the kids?
"I think confiscating food from children is pretty rank," Mr Storrie said. "It's so wrong."
Waikato Stadium events facilities manager Mark Christie said the school was sent an information guide surrounding the stadium's policy.
"Clear instructions went to all schools and sports co-ordinators, regarding the rules of food and drink, which clearly state that none can be brought in.
"We are a licensed premises, it's just like if you brought food from home to a restaurant to eat, you wouldn't do it."
Mr Christie said he could not understand why the students did not eat their lunches on the open fields surrounding the stadium.
"There obviously has been a mis-communication which is really unfortunate."
He said he hoped the incident would not overshadow the event.
