Fear Not: Wrigley’s Bathroom Troughs Will Live On
There are many things about Wrigley Field that could stand some upgrading. Despite its charm and aura, the place is seriously outdated.
The Cubs are aware of this. They’re doing some fixes here and there to get areas of the park up to speed. Like the bathrooms, for instance. They’ll be undergoing renovations this offseason.
But the bathroom troughs? They’re here to stay, says the Trib (via NBC Chicago):
The Chicago Cubs will renovate the bathrooms at Wrigley Field this offseason, but a team spokesman has assured the Tribune that the treasured urinal troughs, long a part of the stadium’s lore, will remain.
Even as a Sox fan who is programmed to irrationally hate on all things Wrigley, I like this move. And I will tell you why: yeah, the troughs are a little weird, a little outdated, a little too close for comfort, but if you have to pee, and pee bad, they are amazing. You rarely, if ever, have to wait. It’s great.
Modern urinals at stadiums lead to long lines. By refusing to make things new, the Cubs have actually made their male bathrooms more efficient.
And who can complain about that?
