Part of my problem I suppose with Miller Park is that it needs a roof. I don't like places that need roofs to play baseball in April. Or May. I'm ok with places that need them in June, July and August however.

At the game last night I noticed that in the Cubs restrooms there were 3 dispensers of anti-biotic gel - all with signs on them saying they didn't work. No soap ... just a filthy disgusting place. And when you pee in the trough, if it isn't bad enough that you are shoulder to shoulder, the wall between you and the person across from you is only waste high. You are close enough to reach out and touch them, your weenies are probably no more than 2 feet apart from each other and some guy makes the observation "Hey, this is weird looking into your eyes while I do this dude".

Yeah, the troughs against any basic bathroom rules. You need a wall behind where you're pissing so you can look straight ahead so you don't make any eye contact with the person next to you, now you have to deal with people across from you.

I don't plan on ever being sober enough in Wrigley to care about its shortcomings.

Probably not. Because if it did, it would be utilized at the open sewer known as Wrigley Field.

“The main issue that really hurt this stadium was the troughs” one UFE rep said. “Basically, the facility provides at least thirty men to pee at once, while only a fraction of that number can wash their hands at once”. Given this pee/wash ratio, the amount of individuals who have potentially harmful bacteria on their hands is very high.

For every 100 men who went into the restroom, 79 did NOT wash their hands. Women however, were much better and nearly every woman who went to the restroom washed their hands (nice work ladies). Something else that made for a different experience for our team was the fact that the men’s restroom smelled like wet dogs. This really upsets us to say this however, because we think it is an insult to dogs.

My Question is this: This is modern times....How can the Chicago Board of Health allow this?

Have you been to Chicago fan? Believe me, the health board has bigger things to worry about in Chicago than this. I'm sure technically it's breaking about 8 regulations, but in the grand scheme of things...

I went to Wrigley in 2009 for a day game against the Phillies. We used the bathrooms in a Bar after the game ( I could not make myself go in due to the foul oder)....But the Health Department should be enforcing these type of laws
