What a bizarre restriction!

I've just read this on the Liverpool Echo Arena's website.
If I've got this right, I can take my MESuper with a 200mmm lens on it, but can't take my istDL with the same lens! Huh?!?!?!

Quote:

Q. Can I take a camera into the arena?

The unauthorised use of Cameras or any kind of recording equipment is strictly prohibited. 35mm cameras and digital cameras up to 5MP and/or 3x Zoom are permitted at most events, but promoters may request a ban on all photography, in which case signs will be present at all entrances to the arena.
Now, before it all kicks off, I know it is private land and they can place whatever restrictions they like, but that one just seems odd!
Getting there! Thanks to you guys

Pentax K3ii, Pentax K10d, Kit lens ( 18-55mm ), 50mm f1.7 lens, Tamron 70-300mm lens, Prinzflex 70-162 manual lens, Various old flashes.

ARNO - DSLR's are only permitted at Anfield if they Make King Kenny look Scottish, and Andy Carroll look as though he's worth every penny of the £35 million Liverpool paid for him. There are no restrictions on pinhole cameras, or mobile phones without built-in cameras.... APPARENTLY!!
