As a STH are you telling me that you don't know which bathrooms to use, or more importantly which ones to avoid? There are only two issues with the bathrooms at the Saddledome:
- The most obvious bathrooms (the ones on the main concourse) are also the smallest.
- The bigger bathrooms have only the single entrance/ exit, causing a backlog.
So take the smaller bathrooms, convert them to "one way only" traffic and put a sign over the entrance showing where the bigger bathrooms are. Take the bigger bathrooms, move the sinks and add more urinals. (Lose a couple of stalls.) All that is probably less than $10M.
My problem with the new arena is that as a green ticket holder, I'm likely going to be priced out of the market. So I won't be able to go to as many games, but for the games that I do, I'll have a 1 minute shorter trip to the bathroom. For me that isn't worth it.
Don't get me wrong. I've been to games in newer arenas. Everything from San Jose/ Winnipeg (the lesser of the newer arenas) to Phoenix and LA. I wouldn't call San Jose nor Winnipeg as being noticeably better. And although Phoenix/LA were certainly better experiences, given the choice of going to half as many games in the better building, I'd take more games at the Saddledome. I'm a hockey fan first- that is why during lockouts I turn to Hitmen and Dinos games.
The fans that will benefit from the newer building are the ones who don't have to worry about fitting Flames games into their entertainment budget.
