Let’s face it, having to use the restrooms at sporting events sucks!
The crowds. The long lines. The dubious cleanliness of the bathrooms themselves. For one reason or another, using the bathroom at a sports arena is hardly an easy task.
Enter the Los Angeles Clippers and their upcoming new arena Intuit Dome. On Tuesday, the media got a first look inside the building, which is currently being constructed in Inglewood, California. During the event, Clippers owner Steve Ballmer made quite the impassioned speech when talking about the higher than average number of toilets Intuit Dome is set to house.
La Clippers owner Steve Ballmer fired up about one of the Intuit Dome’s signature features: “Toilets! 1,160 toilets and urinals! Three times the NBA average! … We do not want people waiting around. We want them back to their d—- seats.” pic.twitter.com/Zphre8ZMRL

That’s a lot of toilets! And on the surface, having over 1,100 toilets — triple the NBA average — should make for an overall better experience for the fans coming to visit.
That being said, the passion with which Ballmer yelled “TOILETS!” is going to stick with me for some time. One day, I hope I can be as excited for something as Ballmer was for the number of toilets in Intuit Dome.
