Bathroom Review--Comcast Center

Upon first glance, you may find yourself underwhelmed by the bathrooms of the sparkling new Comcast Center. Where's the pizzazz? Where's the charm? Where are the open windows with views of the tennis courts? However, these are the special types of bathrooms only the true toilet connoisseur can appreciate--all business, nothing fancy.

The Comcast Center has been built with "potty parity." That is, there are twice as many bathrooms for women as there are for men. This takes care of the long lines of ladies on the con- courses, but it makes it more difficult for men to find a bathroom.

Once you enter the bathroom, you'll be surprised by just how basic it is. No carpeting, no servants, no Comcast urinal cakes. Just a row of toilets waiting to be used. Thankfully, the sinks offer both cold AND hot water, which

might not seem like much, but is a big improvement over Cole's bare bones design. The Comcast bathrooms are surprisingly small. While this does leave time to get to know your fellow fan, you're most likely going to just stare off into the tile design on the wall.

When you think about it, and you should, these bathrooms have a tough job--servicing 18,000+ fans 18 times a year, asking nothing in return. They'll always be compared to their super- sized predecessors at Cole, and have even more fans to deal with. These treasured toilets do the job and for that we should be grateful.

Rating: 3 out of 4 flushes

Directions: Get a ticket. Go to a game. Chug a soda when your throat gets tired of yelling. Go to any of the bathrooms on the concourse.
