Not like I expect an answer here...we're down to 3 posters who admit to being female?

Just out of curiosity, who's the third?

New Comiskey park (opened 1991) has troughs.

Maybe it used to (I honestly can't remember), but I didn't pee in a single tough in the roughly fifteen times I was at U.S. Cellular this season. Or the last several seasons.

Who let girls into our clubhouse!?

Troughs are a nightmare for those with stage fright. But then again, so are public sporting events generally.

It's like the urinal Amsterdam.

You know, it's too bad Amsterdam has all the crap it has, because it is a really lovely city.

Just out of curiosity, who's the third?

Just off the top of my head:

Baseball Chick

Jessex (though she hasn't posted in some time)

Most stadiums don't have dividers between the urinals anyway, so it's not like privacy is an added benefit of the urinal. I suppose you're closer to the guy at the trough.

I remember the troughs at Dodger Stadium because I attended the Mets-Dodger playoff game there in 2006 in a Mets jersey. Nobody bothered me until I went the bathroom, at which point some dude kept telling the guys next to me at the trough to "piss on the Mets fan" (thankfully they didn't).

As for "who flushes urinals"? Piss smells really bad if you just leave it out there untreated (we had a clogged urinal at the office one weekend, and it smelled absolutely terrible on Monday morning.

The most disgusting thing is when someone pukes in the trough (I have seen this at bars, not at baseball games). People generally avoid puking in urinals, I think.

Who spits gum in urinals is the question I have. It's not like there aren't trash cans in the men's room, and someone has to clean that #### up.

He may have gone over 10 years ago - the sentiment would still hold.

He must have a bladder the size of San Antonio.

My wife, who does occassionaly post here has used the ladies room at Wrigley. I asked about them and she said they were remarkably clean up in the upper deck and the in main concourse. As a scientist I'll take her word for it.

And yes, I don't understand men who don't like the trough. I've rarely missed a pitch due to waiting in bathroom lines in stadium with the trough system.

That was a sink.

Except it didn't have a faucet.

Re:44, Summerfest bathrooms at night may as well be a 3rd world nation. A parent should definitely have their kids taken away if they are still there at 11 pm with their kids.

I too have seen regular occurrences of women in the men's room, but the worst thing I've seen in there is dude's whizzin' in the sink and trash cans. If your Lieutenant said, 'Guys, I need 100 disorderly conducts/public urination/etc. citations by the end of the night,' you could achieve that in short order by never leaving the area of a bathroom at Summerfest.

I think a trough allows the aroma of piss to fester longer than urinals, or perhaps 'Troughed' restrooms simply have lousy air circulation.

Watching somebody deposit a deuce into a trough at Wrigley was the worst behavior I've seen in there, but I would imagine the fallout of vomit in a bathroom is worse than the turd.

The elementary school that I alluded to in #44 had one of those too.

Nicolet?

EDIT: Wait, Nicolet's not an elementary school, duh. But I first encountered the circle-sinks there as a child, because my dad taught there. They fascinated me.

My elementary school (about 20 miles from Nicolet) and church where I had CCD also had those circle-sinks like this one. Obviously those sinks penetrated the Milwaukee market. The one I linked looks a lot more modern than the ones we used.

Lloyd Street School.

I was an adult when I saw what I described. My parents didn't agree with your stance though. The fireworks (by which I mean the literal ones) don't even start until almost 10, usually. My mom loved to close all the fests (and open some of them. For example, we used to do the Irish Fest 5K early in the morning (10 AM is early in the summer) and then stay all day). I think I spent literally every hour they were open at some of the ethnic fests while I was growing up. Summerfest gets a bit more adult than most of the other fests but I still don't think it's generally a real problem for kids. There are usually only a few dozen arrests during the whole week and a half, with the vast majority being for minor things.

That school was only four blocks away from the Lloyd St. Grounds, where the Brewers played during the late 1800s and for their one season in the AL.

One of the gyms I use has a trough-sink but the urinals are normal.
