No Public Fountains at Hamilton’s Tim Horton's Field



If you want a drink of water at Hamilton’s brand new football stadium, you’ll have to pay for it.

Tim Hortons Field, home of the Tiger-Cats and the soccer events at next summer’s Pan Am Games, has no public water fountains. Fans looking for water will have to buy it from the concession stands, where under a 20-year license agreement with the city the Tiger-Cats take the bulk of the profits.



During the first-ever event at Tim Hortons Field — the Labour Day Classic between the Ti-Cats and Toronto Argonauts — concession stands where charging $3.50 for a 591 millilitre bottle of Dasani.

Other major sports facilities in the GTA, including the Air Canada Centre, Rogers Centre and BMO Field, all have public water fountains where fans can fill up.
Most have some rules over what kind of bottles can be brought in, but clear plastic bottles are normally OK.
Hamilton’s FirstOntario Centre, however, doesn’t have public fountains either.

Thoughts?
