When building an outdoor football stadium in the Florida heat you should probably cover these basics:

Field. Check.
Seats. Check.
Press Box. Check.
Bathrooms. Check.
Water Fountains. Whoops.

It's named Bright House Network Stadium, but it was no so bright Saturday. With no regard for the lack of drinking fountains, concession stands quickly sold out of bottled water. With regular water not readily available many fans suffered through heat exhaustion

1	Uh, that stadium is in Orlando. You don't want to drink anything that comes out of the tap there, even if you are from Texas.

This is no joke...water fountains are essential in Florida. I was at the game watching my alma mater and was really enjoying the atmosphere. However, after waiting 1 hour in line for concessions only to find out they were OUT OF WATER, I began suffering from heat exhaustion. My wife and I left in the 3rd quarter as I had a headache so bad I could barely keep my head up. It ruined the entire experience for me...although I was very impressed with how the Knights played.

I don't quite understand the post above me here...tap water is fine in Orlando (especially water coming out of water fountains).
