EMT folks are trying to render aid to several fans in my section due to the heat, some having to be wheeled out. Unbelievable that we can't even keep water stocked for a noon game.

Get a damn drink before you leave the house. Yes there should be water fountains but it's not ou's fault someone isn't hydrated.

Or maybe venues can start letting people bring water in refillable. bottles into games thus reducing the plastic water bottle problem. Nope, selling products at grossly inflated prices is what most venues do today.

Lmao, yeah that one drink of water before leaving for a 3 1/2 game, in 90°+ will keep you hydrated.

Agree it’s bizarre they would run out. Happened east back with Hocutt as AD once I believe. Can somebody hit a pull up jumper for me?.....

Bunch of wimps running a pattern and returning to the sideline and taking a guzzle. Why, back in the day you only needed a few yellow salt tablets for peak performance.

That said 1st game of the year with what 5 more to follow you would have thought plenty of water would have been stocked to the rafters. Not a good look for anyone involved. Both of my kids played in the HS band so I was involved with “volunteer” band parents manning concession stands over the years. We ALWAYS had plenty of water for warm fall night games and plenty of Hot Chocolate for the colder evening games. It’s not rocket science!

Just seeing the number of fans who left their seats to get in the shade under the stands or who were given aid by the EMT staff on duty was very disturbing. Not a good look at all for the Bobcat administration.

Not a good look at all for the Bobcat administration. Agree it's not a good look at all. Did I mention that scheduling this as a night game, which was totally our call, would have prevented both the water shortage and the need for EMT attention? However, can't let folks bring in their own water bottle. It could be some highly explosive clear-liquid chemical that just looks like water.

You could bring in the kitchen sink if you wanted to. Same at Tanglewood in western Mass. Many venues are now allowing you to bring in the aforementioned unopened bottle of water or an empty beverage container (Yeti) to fill at your leisure at a chilled water dispenser like they have in airports.

You can carry unopened water into most any venue but Peden.

The university still shows photos on the campus website without the Sook Center addition to Peden so a lack of attention to details I'm not surprised. No attempt probably in the athletic department to schedule an early season night game with the understanding it correlates with a larger crowd. Asleep at the wheel.

Access to Stimson from 33 was closed on September 1. If you're coming from Marietta it's been open for some time.
