Anyone else pissed about the removal of the troughs in the bathrooms?

Submitted by marc_from_novi on
I sit in section 6 and have to go all the way to section 1 to take a leak. Always a very long line. Now with individual urinals this takes even longer. I can only hope a new men's room will be built closer to my section. Was there really anything wrong with the trough?

Who the hell doesn't want to piss all over the place and THEN not have to worry about putting the toilet seat down--and THEN not even having he option to flush! Those things are great and I'm having one installed in my house as we speak.

Good point. On the flip side, I'm surprised Martin can't think of something as brilliantly simple as a sign on every urinal that says something like, "This flush sponsored by Bicycle Playing Cards. Whether it's a royal flush, or a regular flush, Bicycle Playing Cards have got you covered! So go ahead, put a Bicycle ace of spaids up your sleeve the next time you play poker with your wife's family." Wow, think of all the revenue generated by being able to bill someone every time someone has to take a leak!

Indeed. Present day construction building/ADA code requires a certain number of urinals/toilets per persons in the building. I want to say it's something like 1 toilet for every 25 women, and 1 urinal and 1 toilet for every 60 men. NOTE: I can't remember the exact ratio, so these are just guesses. I couldn't find anything on a quick google search, and I think it varies by state as well.

good call, and I can't agree more. The troughs were a staple of the Big House and oh so convenient. And fun. When else could you piss on a wall without the risk of a UIP? I just decided, I will have a trough urinal in my bathroom one day.

I walked into the bathroom and proclaimed very loudly, and in slurred words, "Where the f**k are the troughs?" Sorry to the father with the little kid that was by me, I forget that it is a family event sometimes. Skyboxes, rawk music, urinals, fast quarterbacks, this is the new Michigan Football.
