Removal of troughs will probably be in the next phase

It might be an equity issue. Women have to wait in line. Men should too.

My son had his first trough experience last Saturday at the dome. A 13 year old and he says "that's a great idea!" We had a brief conversation about preferred positioning, no eye contact and studying the wall infront of your face.

I hope they never do away with the troughs.

I haven't had the heart to weigh into this thread. Too difficult to even comment.

For every trough lover, there’s someone else who hates them or has stage fright. Hopefully they just keep them. Seems like an unnecessary change when they work fine. People who don’t like them can use the miron ones.

I can't imagine preferring to wait in line. The dome has the shortest men's room lines of any venue I have ever visited. It is because of the troughs.

If you have stage fright get in line and use the stall. The wait alone was enough for me to man up. I’ve found the corner trough position to be easiest, fwiw.

And instead of replacing the troughs why not just remodel them? New paint job. TVs on the walls where you have to stare. Rubber duckies floating by in the stream so we can get our lazy river. This is not hard.

This - go to a venue without them, the lines are insane.

bring back the daily paper stuck to the walls.

A good mentor and friend as a young man once told me an amazing pee-trough story that stays with me to this day. I'm 90% certain that it is true, but as always with stories when you weren't present, I take it with a grain of salt.

My friend was at one of the southcentral SUNY schools in the 70's. Might have been Ithaca or Cortland, not sure. Anyhow, his best friend was a research or doctoral student at a nearby university and worked in the cadaver lab. As someone who has also done a lot of cadaver work in the late 90s, I was shocked at the lack of rules and regulations and how things were monitored. In the 70s, I imagine it was even less. Anyhow, the research student stole an eggplant-y part of the anatomy off of this male cadaver when all testing on the body had been completed and placed it into a container with ice to bring home with a master plan in mind.

The next Saturday at the home football game, both gentlemen were armed with the anatomical member as well as a copious packet of vampire blood leftover from a Halloween costume.

At halftime when the troughs were busiest, he snuck the biological banana out of his coat pocket and dropped it into the trough along with a pint of vampire blood (while also spreading the vampire blood all over his pants zipper)...and started screaming "MY D!!!CK!!! MY D!!!CK!!!"

My friend and mentor was present and doubled over, laughing the hardest he ever had in his life, while his friend screamed in agony before stopping with a smirk, picking up the member, and putting it into his pocket...laughing maniacally out the door, never to be seen again.

If ever there was a commercial for troughs, this is it. The prank would never work with a urinal.

Those guys just don’t have to pee bad enough.

If anything instead of removing the troughs we should expand them to the women’s rooms.

THIS. Title IX should be about lifting people up not pulling us down.

Before they get removed the Dome staff needs to invite some board luminaries to take one last piss.

like an activist chaining themselves to an old Redwood we need someone willing to stand at the troughs with a fluid IV.

No more sword crossing for you!

Depends on one's dedication to the game.

General20 did you ever remember hearing this story from our mustachioed mutual friend and coach back in the early 90s?

Allow me to be the villain of this story. One of the early football games where it was really warm, and I wore shorts. That allowed me to literally get a feel for how much backspray there is. Like, everyone leaves the place wearing a lot more of other men's urine than you realize. I'm kind of okay with them getting removed.

Nobody wants to see you in shorts. Problem solved. #Troughs4lyfe

I think COVID killed the pee troughs. The NYS plumbing ode was changed in 2020, not long after the epidemic hit. I am going to assume this was the driving factor. We probably got grandfathered in but I bet the public health people really had issues with this and wanted it out ASAP.

China, this is on you.

Any water closet that permits siphonage of the con- tents of the bowl back into the tank shall be prohibited. Trough urinals shall be prohibited. 401.3 ...

Not a fan of public bathrooms in general as I believe 85% of the population is gross and don't know how to wash themselves let alone practice proper bathroom habits.

Why not just install dividers to give privacy? Also eliminates backwash.

At MetLife, if the stadium is 3/4 full and you sit as close to a men’s room as possible, and sprint there at the beginning of a tv timeout… you will miss an entire quarter of football.
