With the NHL playoffs starting on the eleventh this month, NBC and the NHL look to unveil a 21-foot, 6,600-pound Stanley Cup fountain in Times Square. It will look exactly like the trophy. What makes it even better is that you can drink out of it, and that it's a working water fountain at the same time!
The photo above is what they hope it looks like. Take a look at being under construction:
Here are the rest of the features:
• The Stanley Cup Fountain will feature 12 industrial fountain pop jets in the upper bowl, shooting water six feet above the Cup
• Visitors can drink NYC Water from specific spouts at the base of the fountain with reusable souvenir cups from NBC Sports/NHL and NYC Water
• In total, the system will pump 120 gallons of water/minute through the structure.
Pretty awesome.
