Instead of simply investing all the money in new talent, they smartly focused on improving the fan experience with particular attention to the cleanliness of the stadium and its bathrooms. They did of course upgrade the playing field, add fancy new scoreboards, and throw in some new concession stands too; however, the restrooms received the bulk of the upgrades.
So what's in store for your tushie at Seibu? New toilets with warming seats and floor-to-ceiling stall doors—George Constanza would be proud—are just some of the fresh features. High-tech urinals replaced the cement receptacles of years past, all now set along a tiled wall in the Lions’ team colors of blue and white. Some have even described the women’s restrooms as looking straight out of a luxury hotel. Here, each stall is graced with a combination bidet and toilet, providing a true sanctuary from the crowds and noise for one to uh, conduct business. There'll be no more lugging wet wipes with you to Japan just in case.
