It's Official: The Toilets at Nationals Park Work


It has been confirmed by "Operation Super Flush" that the toilets in Nationals Park are fully functional and will be able to withstand the all out barrage of urine bound for their collective bowls. This was some kind of undertaking, requiring the coordinated efforts of 175 volunteer flushers who were instructed to flush the toilets every 10 seconds and urinals every 15 seconds over designated periods of time. The plumbing system is designed to be environmentally friendly reducing the total amount of water used from 9.6 million gallons to 6 million gallons per season. As a bonus to female baseball fans in and around DC, the ladies rooms have as many toilets as the mens rooms have combined toilets+urinals, so the line for womens relief shouldn't be as shockingly long as it is at other stadiums.
I personally am waiting for them to test the beer dispersal system, designed to ensure that the parks over public 500 toilets and urinals are utilized to the degree to which they have been tested. I've heard personally from Professor RemiX, who was lucky enough to receive a tour of the not yet completed ballpark, that Nationals Park has some sort of advanced system of tubes for distributing beer throughout the stadium from a central location. No word from Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK) if this series of tubes is at all related to the internet.
