Thirsty Colts fans: Got $$?

The Indy Star reports on water:
Thirsty fans at the new Indiana Stadium will want to wrap their hands around some good cold cash.
The Downtown Indianapolis stadium will help steer visitors toward the beer, soda and bottled water sold at concession stands by providing about half as many drinking fountains as required by state building codes.


Though 70 drinking fountains in the new stadium would be needed to meet code, state fire and building officials are allowing the project to include 36 drinking fountains for the more than 63,000 fans and staff.
Stadium officials didn't even want to put in that many.
Their original petition asked for two drinking fountains each on the terrace, club and street concourses.
Self-interest is everywhere.
