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.

    • I can picture it in my mind - 20 feet of gleaming stainless steel beautifully designed - constantly being cleaned by clean water - and providing rapid relief for Jets fans ! Magnifico! C'mon Mr Chipman - make it happen!

    • very simple. nobody wants to wait at a hockey game. if yu have to go yu have to go. i'm for shortening the wait if it can be done. whoever doesn't like it should wait in line fo the washroom.

    • I'm from Saskatoon but this just seems like such a worthy cause. Next petition: ban all crappy toilet paper in public washrooms. Its just the right thing to do.

    • This is crazy they could put 4 or 5 more urinals in ech was room if they remove the privacy screens and just place them side by side. Come on this is stupid. What we shoudl do is stop buying concessions until they make the changes. Vote with our wallet. The team is making a killing off the fams right now show a little compassion.

    • Just makes more sense to have it. Also...it isnt 8000 at the games....its 15,000+, so the scenario is even worse. People pay a lot of money to be here to see the Jets. I just can't see this working year after year after year...

    • If not a trough, please add additional washrooms. The lineups for the Mens washrooms are way too long. They clog up the concourse, making it difficult to move in the vicinity of washrooms. And take a whole intermission to get to the washroom

    • It`s not any different to urinals. We pay alot of money tosee a game. Every second we lose taking a wiz is money lost, IMHO.

    • Next time, piss in your empty cups and leave then on the ground. You should read over your stuff when you're done typing to prevent comments like the ones that you're getting.
