I wish the university would have a water hydrant or at least crack a fire hydrant for cooling off made available for the hundreds of us poor people tailgating on the pavement or parched grass around Hilton. I had a small water bladder used for showers and washing up while camping that became empty and asked security where I might fill it with water just for rinsing off, not drinking. They said both Hilton and Scheman were locked and unavailable and suggested driving to a Kum and Go or pumping the water solution out of the portapotty wash station before it became empty! If it is as hot for the Iowa game as this past weekend, I may go the Duck Dynasty route and place a tarp in the bed of my pickup and fill it with water! Hey, Happy, Happy!
Suggestions for next 7 hour tailgate in 100 degree temps

I don't see why you should blame the University for your poor planning. It's not like it was a surprise that it was hot out.
I heard the SEZ is going to have a swimming pool in it with a 8,000+ person capacity. I guess until then we have to wait.
I would charge $6 for water. If you don't plan ahead it's ok to put a premium on water

1. If you can't take the heat, don't tailgate.
2. Prepare somewhat intelligently for tailgating and it isn't a problem.

I drank 1 water for every 3 beers.
That lasted for 6 beers.
I then switched to alternating water and beer.
That lasted for about 3 beers.
I then switched to all water.
That lasted the rest of the day.
