My mistake on the name, it was the University of Central Florida, and more specifically Bright House Stadium.<p>There&#x27;s TV news coverage at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=4t-44S_gebI" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=4t-44S_gebI</a> . It and the article at <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;articles.orlandosentinel.com&#x2F;2007-09-19&#x2F;news&#x2F;FOUNTAIN19_1_drinking-fountains-water-fountains-heston" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;articles.orlandosentinel.com&#x2F;2007-09-19&#x2F;news&#x2F;FOUNTAIN...</a> say that the university believes it followed the building code at the time, and that water fountains were not required so long as water was available.<p>The followup at <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;articles.orlandosentinel.com&#x2F;2007-09-22&#x2F;news&#x2F;FOUNTAINS22_1_bottled-water-coolers-drinking-fountains-water-fountains" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;articles.orlandosentinel.com&#x2F;2007-09-22&#x2F;news&#x2F;FOUNTAIN...</a> is more complete:<p>&gt; When the stadium was designed, the building codes called for either drinking fountains or &quot;bottled water coolers.&quot; But the sole source of water for fans attending last Saturday&#x27;s inaugural game was from vendors.<p>&gt; &quot;Selling bottled water out of a concession stand is not what the code meant,&quot; said Gregg Gress of the International Code Council in Washington, D.C. Water coolers &quot;were supposed to be the equivalent of a drinking fountain.&quot;<p>...<p>&gt; The 2001 plumbing code under which UCF&#x27;s stadium was designed gave builders the option of installing water fountains or &quot;bottled water coolers.&quot;<p>&gt; But several officials who are closely involved with building codes told the Orlando Sentinel that bottled-water coolers referred to refrigerated units fed by large plastic jugs, commonly found in offices.<p>&gt; The code, they said, was not meant to include refrigerators containing individual bottles of water for sale, such as those that vendors used at the stadium last Saturday.<p>It then says that the university &quot;was not subject to review by another government agency. That&#x27;s because the university, like school districts, has the authority to issue its own permits and can decide whether it meets most building standards.&quot;<p>as well as pointing to a few previous cases:<p>&gt; In 2003, the new stadium for the NFL&#x27;s Philadelphia Eagles opened without water fountains for the general public in what was called an oversight. In 1962, Dodger Stadium architects in Los Angeles forgot to install drinking fountains, though some suspected the team&#x27;s owner wanted to boost beer and soda sales.<p>In general there was a lot of astonishment over the lack of water fountains.<p>Oh, and no, you can&#x27;t bring in your own drinks. They might contain alcohol, so beer sales would go down ... err, I mean that people might get drunk and rowdy or violent.
