IU Athletics expands water access at Memorial Stadium ahead of Saturday’s game
Indiana University Athletics doubled free multi-unit water stations, updated what water containers fans may bring and added misting and first-aid support for the noon matchup against Howard at Memorial Stadium.
IU Athletics has increased free hydration services for Saturday’s game, doubling the number of multi-unit water stations compared with Week 1 and placing stations on both the east and west concourses at Merchants Bank Field. Fans may bring one sealed, clear, non-glass water bottle with its safety seal intact, or an empty refillable non-glass container to fill at stadium stations; bottled water will remain available for purchase at concessions.
Organizers also positioned misting stations across the concourse and confirmed first-aid posts on the east and west concourses. Officials provided a fan assistance number (812-369-MYIU) and noted forecasted temperatures near 85 degrees; kickoff against Howard is scheduled for noon Saturday.
