The Chicago Cubs have gone more than a hundred years without winning a World Series, and some fans waited nearly as long to use the bathroom when the north-siders kicked off their 2015 campaign Sunday at Wrigley Field.
Hundreds of angry fans turned to social media to vent their frustration over a lack of adequate facilities after plumbing problems related to the stadium’s ongoing renovations took two restrooms out of service.
Cubs officials acknowledged that they made a big error in not providing more portable restrooms, especially with the size of the Opening Day crowd. The Sunday night game was attended by 35,000 people who waited uncomfortably in restroom lines for as long as 45 minutes. Some missed as much as two innings of the game, but considering the Cubs’ performance, all was not lost.
Posts on Twitter included photos of long lines, along with numerous complaints. Some people were reportedly relieving themselves in plastic beer cups.
To solve the problem, the Cubs brought in portable restrooms provided by Service Sanitation out of Gary, Indiana, in preparation for tonight’s game.
So if you’re headed out to Wrigley anytime soon, don’t pick up any of those “full beers” in the hallway. And skip the long lines this time around by taking advantage of the clean portable restrooms Service Sanitation just delivered.
