1. John Northey Posted: October 17, 2012 at 10:02 AM (#4273811)One of these days? I remember seeing drunks piss on the men's room floor at old Sportsman's Park when I was 10 years old. That was one place for sure that you didn't want to wear sandals.
I don't think I've been to an Opening Day in Milwaukee (or a night at Summerfest) where I didn't see a man whizzing into either a garbage can or a sink. Or, a woman coming into the men's room because the lines were shorter.
interesting that the mens room line is longer than the females room line. i thought men had much larger bladders until they get prostate
i have seen lines for the mens room at the Box, especially BITGOD when we used to have an actual baseball team and the place was full, but the lines were NEVER near that long and they moved fast.
i know that women bring their sons into the ladies room - often until the kid is 8 or 9, but what do single dads with a daughter do when daddy has to go? you can't take your daughter into a mens room unless she is too young to walk
I took my daughters into the mens room until they were in kindergarden. After that, I'd send them to the ladies room while standing outside obsessively watching the doors hoping no one thought I was a really warped pervert.

The line may be longer as I'm sure there are a lot more men in the stadium than women. But I bet the men's room line still moves faster.
One of these days? I remember seeing drunks piss on the men's room floor at old Sportsman's Park when I was 10 years old. That was one place for sure that you didn't want to wear sandals.
Griffith Stadium had only three men's rooms on the lower level, two of which weren't much bigger than one of Mitt Romney's guest bathrooms. On a cold December day during a Redskins' sellout, the main loo's combination of cigar smoke, cigar butts, half-empty popcorn containers, misdirected streams of piss, and steam heat from the radiators made for a smell that only a great novelist could possibly describe. And yes, there were plenty of guys pissing in the sink, too. I don't remember whether or not the lines there were quite as long as that picture above in Comerica, but I do know that you had to rush to it from your seat to be able to make it back in time for the second half kickoff.
We try to have Mommy do it at larger venues/stadiums, etc, though most new parks have 'family bathrooms' which makes this easier.
You also don't want to see someone else's youknowwhat, because it might accidentally turn you gay.
These rules are for your own protection!
HAve them wait by the security guard desk in the museum, which is usually near a rest room. Or, carry them and have them close their eyes, use a stall. Necessity is the mother.
So what do you do then, just take a whiz against the wall of the Castel Sant'Angelo?
Wrigley Field and Dodger Stadium have them, or at least used to.
Yeah, perhaps I shoulda been more careful about that in public restrooms and locker rooms. *shrug*
Being a guy is just fantastic. It really is.
One of these days somebody holding too many beers inside is just going to say "#### it" and pull a Seinfeld.
I'm drawing a blank on this. George peeing in the gym shower?
I'm with you. Chase the beer and go take your leak. An open beverage container in those men's rooms...no ####### way.
A few years ago the city of Boston had a water main break and tap water was not drinkable. I went to Fenway and all the men's rooms had signs saying not to drink out of the faucets or the toilets. Never has there been a less necessary instruction anywhere.
Haha, definitely. I remember once at Summerfest, I was in the (disgusting) bathroom when three women came in and saw that the men's room was fairly crowded. Rather than wait for a stall or go back out to the women's line, they squatted in a corner (over a pile of cups and paper towels and other trash) and proceeded to piss. Nobody else in the bathroom appeared to think this was unusual.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Why do you need to set it down at all? Don't you have two hands?
Seriously. I've been to preseason games at the Verizon Center that had longer lines than that. 20 minutes is not enough.
They have mostly gone the way of the dinosaur. The one at Old Comiskey park should have been sent to Cooperstown. It was a magnificent relic of a bygone age.
Exactly. I've seen guys at urinals draining beer straight through. And if it's Miller Lite, you wonder why they don't eliminate the middleman.
Military teaches that out of you. In bootcamp you have 80 guys using 5 urinals and less than 5 minutes.... the first time you use the urinals in bootcamp, everyone is waiting patiently for the next guy and only about 1/3rd get to go before being rushed back outside...after that, it's three per urinal. It's a biological function, you learn to get over it.
no way. if that makes me a metrosexual, so be it.
dodger stadium now has waterfree urinals, no troughs. at least not in the lower levels.
I agree, it is totally nasty. Food/beverages and toilets should never, ever, ever, ever be in the same room together. Just disgusting....
I might have the bathroom's location wrong, although I don't think so. But the main thrust of the story is all correct. A mirage in the desert, only real.
I think I might second that. If nothing else I had never seen lines like that before in all the stadia I've visited. Bryant-Denny (Tuscaloosa) was pretty bad too.
Indy 500 men's rooms in the turns are about as bad as any in America. All troughs, I doubt a nickel has gone into them since they were installed.
Sounds a bit like that single block of unregulated street parking within a 15 minute walk of Nationals Park.
And no, I ain't telling, and neither should you.
I'll use this as an excuse to throw in a shout-out for the films of Luis Buñuel in general, and The Phantom of Liberty in particular.
One of my favorite memories of my first game at Wrigley in 1986 was the sight of those wiiiiide troughs. I went to Fenway that year, too, and could swear they had 'em as well.
Safeco has some "Family" bathrooms, just a single hole provate room for this purpose.
The first time I saw a trough urinal was as a wee lad at Fenway Park. I didn't know what to do.
And no, I ain't telling, and neither should you.
I know where it is. I accept cash. For telling or not telling.
My lips are sealed.
- so you take your daughter into the bathroom while YOU pee?
every time i read about troughs it makes me glad i'm female
i can't yell at men for holding beer in one hand and youknowwhat in the other because in the ladies room, ALL THE TIME there are females talking on the phone when they are in the stall using it. no kidding.
They're pretty rare these days.
I assume people only do that if no one else is around to watch the kid outside. I don't have any kids but I have a much younger brother and when I used to take him places when he was young, I definitely felt a sense of panic if I lost sight of him for a second. I wouldn't have left him out on a concourse unattended. But I'm the pessimistic type.
Good thing too, Andy. I was about to stab you with cuticle scissors.
All they ever saw were men facing away from them at urinals, standing in line for urinals or washing their hands. I've never seen a public mens room that was a wee wee waving festival that would damage little girls' psyches.
Of course I never took them anyplace rowdy, like The Wrigley bleachers or CBGB, where the odds of bathroom depravity were high, but that's just common sense. Really, it was never a big deal at all.
And troughs are special. When I finally rebuild my garage into the Awesome Man Cave of my dreams, the bathroom will have a trough, price be damned.
And now I'm imagining "The Exterminating Angel", only set in an overcrowded stadium bathroom.
Be careful. Adding a urinal to your house knocks five figures off the price.
I guess you might be able to pitch a trough as a utility sink, if a female buyer's never seen one before.
not certain how much this costs, not counting other plumbing related parts, but a stainless steel urinal costs about $2000-$2500 bucks.
I only know this because I remember charging a guy once and one of his bad deeds was destroying a stainless steel urinal at a tavern, and the cost was in that range.
I know a gay couple that put one in their residence.
