gross. those things ****** me off so much. "****** off? more like ****** on". splashback of 40 guys in a row is a horrible, horrible thing.

BOOOOOOOOO!!!! I have never been able to go in the troughs. I get stage fright

Wait, there are center troughs where you face the people on the other side? Is that true??

No one likes performance anxiety.

I've seen those before. Not cool.

I'm a fan of the trough style restrooms actually. Can get people in/out quicker. Used to have them at Jack Trice and ever since they removed them the men's lines seem longer.

Whoa...isn't that illegal in 17 states?

god, just be thankful we aren't in the women's shoes! They are the ones with long lines. I remember seeing the chiefs play the raiders in 04, and there was an inch of water and filth in a men's room and it had a trough.

Man, these things should be illegal. Nothing ruins a good day at a sporting event for me faster than walking into the restroom and seeing the dreaded trough. It makes me feel like some kind of farm animal. For the price of a ticket to these places, a proper urinal doesn't seem to be too much to ask. I prefer a little privacy myself, it is a ballgame, not prison.

Man, that is the one thing they NEED to change.

I don't see who ever thought that was a good idea, unless it was a WWII-era architect.

Speaking of, at Fort McCoy, WI, the restroom in our WWII-era barracks had to long trough, and also 8 stools, four on each side, facing each other. That was awkward.

I agree with this. Plus it gives a place "character."

I remember my first game at Kinnick. I walked into the bathroom, and none of the stalls had doors. I walked by some old dude dropping a deuce. Gross.

Stagefright is terrible. It always seems horribly obvious that you're standing there not going... like people are going to think you just came in to peak some dicks.

So then you have to try to force it out... and as you're pushing you're combating a dirty fart that you easily could have dropped while you were outside 10 seconds ago but you weren't thinking. Bathrooms are so complicated.

Hope I'm not alone on this.
