So Just What Do We All Want Stadium-Wise?

[Rain Man]

As for what I want in a stadium, here's my list.

1. Easily accessible via subway or light rail or other large scale people movers. Or even better (for me) walkable from hotels. Maybe even close to the airport, though I recognize that's a niche need for me.

2. Stuff to do before the game that's better than walking laps on the concourse. A team history museum is nice, but you need at least two hours of activity that's not static for repeat visitors. Per Post 105, it doesn't have to be in the stadium itself. It can be across the parking lot, and doesn't even need to be football-oriented if the private sector just wants to make a big mall/entertainment area within walking distance.

3. Big TVs in the concession areas. We're talking big TVs. Big ones.

4. Individual urinals. We live in the 21st century.

5. More leg room in the seats would be nice, though I recognize that's a tradeoff with visibility.

6. A little radiant heating in the concrete below the seats would be nice.

7. Unique and recognizable architecture. When you tune in on television, you instantly know it's Arrowhead.

I think that's my main list.

I have yet to hear a single rational argument for why urinals are better than troughs in stadiums.

Shouldn't the point of a stadium bathroom to be to get as many people in and out as quickly as possible? Troughs are obviously far more efficient than urinals. Why would I want to spend more time away from my seat? Because troughs are icky?

WTF?

Eh, I value my privacy. I'm willing to wait a bit for that.

Maybe it's just because I'm hanging 8 inches, but i've never felt insecure about someone else getting a glance of my schlong in a bathroom.

Are you sure it's not closet homosexuality? You like men looking at your dick.

I did consider that, but the one time last year I had sex with another man I didn’t really feel anything.

So I’m definitely not gay.

This is exactly the correct take.

Because we are civilized men, and civilized men do not urinate in front of other civilized men. Ever since we donned our first sabretooth loincloths, we have gone to an isolated creek bed or slot canyon to do our business, away from others in the tribe. I don't know why, but I'm sure there's a good reason for that.

Arrowhead has individual urinals now and it seems to me like people get in and out of the restroom much faster than the days of the trough.

Can't do this anymore, though.

They have troughs up where my tickets are.

Ah, okay. Didn’t realize that was still a thing. Feeling elitist now cause my section has standard urinals and I just assumed everyone did. At least you still have the slip n slide.

Okay, I just learned a new definition of horror.
