Bring back the trough. Have you notice the long line ups at the MTS Center mens washrooms. Back in the days of the Winnipeg Area, the trough system made that wait short. After finishing 4+ beers the average Joe has to go do his business. The new washroom service in the MTS Center cannot handle the capacity of need to go people. There are 10+ men washrooms on the mean level with only 4 urinals per a washroom. There are 8000+ fans at a sold out game, 75\% which are male and 75\% of them have been drinking beer thats about 4000 or half the people on the main level that need to go. Think long line ups wasting most of the period break, just to take a leak. These long lines also slow done the movement in the concourse. With a trough in place of the 4 urinals you can have an average of 10 people going at once, speeding up the process. This is to all the beer drinkers, people who hate waiting in line and trying to push there way threw the concourse. So sign even if youre not from the Peg but have experience.

    • Bring it back. I have been boycotting beer sales since I don't want to wait. I'll be turning 50 soon...I'll never be able to wait. Let's all BOYCOTT BEER SALES until they listen. I hope they are quick learners.

    • This is an integral part of hockey history in Winnipeg. The trough should be declared a "heritage" site.

    • I'm thinking about dropping a row of porta potties on portage avenue for the next game. At a buck a pee I could prolly make enough cash to buy a franchise! ;-). Or, maybe you could just bring back the trough.

    • The bottom line is the facilities are not sufficient for the crowds. Something has to be done and I don't care what the solution is just do something True North. This is an embarrassment to everyone except your man who thinks everything is OK. Well if I was staff and had a private bathroom I guess I wouldn't complain either. Fix it soon True North. Thanks

    • Scott Brown from True North says he is comfortable with the urinals. There in lies the problem. A non beer drinker ! If True North wants to increase revenues they need to change the pisser now. Or old guys like me will have to stop buying beverages all together! There I said it. Now piss off everybody and bring back the trough!

    • There are 3 things that used to define the jets arena: (1) the white out (2) the trough and (3) the Queen. Why not go for a hatrick and bring them all back?

    • It is quite awful when the line up every time you go to the bathroom is snaking out of the bathroom and slowing down traffic going in and out of the seating area.

    • The lineups are out of control. Its too bad we can beat the first place team but the biggest memmory is waiting 15 minutes to pee! BRUTAL! I definately eat and drink less $$$$. That's good marketing!
