The manufacturer doesn't recommend using the panels on buildings above 40 feet tall. Sprinkler or no, someone screwed up.

Even if it doesn't, 80,000 people drinking beer should suffice.

Internal sprinkler systems may be ineffective against fires that spread through external paneling. Not clear what effect mass micturation would have, unless Browns fans have Archimedean ability to walk in the ether.

I can't understand why you'd put panels with highly flammable insulation on a building of any height.
