Why waste money on bathrooms when fans can urinate outside the arena? It's an ongoing problem that looks like it's not going away anytime soon;

Well we know that the Oilers have always viewed their fans in tiers so I don't know if anyone should be surprised that tier 1 fans are getting more bathrooms than tier 2 fans. Also there are plenty of seats scattered around the arena that have obstructed views and rows not staggered enough where the person in sitting in front are blocking their view which is unforgivable in this day and age. I sure hope the Flames are a lot smarter than this and are learning from the mistakes made up north as it seems like a lot of money went into style over substance almost like they were trying too hard to make the place a spectacle rather than a really good arena to watch events. It doesn't have to look like a shiny steel appliance from the outside and it doesn't need to dazzle newcomers when they walk through the door. It just has to be a great place to come and watch a game.
