Hundreds of Tennessee Titans fans enjoying an off-season film at the team’s Nashville stadium, which was built with a water tax increase, got soaked when the automatic sprinklers went off by accident.
Captured on a number of smartphones and posted online, season ticket holders watching the children’s animated film Minions on the 'Jumbotron' had to duck and cover during the free screening.
“Some sprinklers went off for about 30-45 seconds in one quadrant of the field, which was unfortunate and unexpected since we had changed the timers for the sprinklers,” the team said in a statement.More than $12 billion in public money has gone into stadiums since 2000, often extorted by the super rich owners with a relocation threat.
Taxpayers kicked in $325 million towards the $1.2 billion Dallas Cowboys megaplex that opened in 2009 while the NFL's newest stadium for the Minnesota Vikings is funded with an estimated $498 million in public money, a deal pushed through by an “authority” without citizen consent.
