Stadium urinals not for sale

By Benjamin Kabak

As construction crews continue to dismantle old Yankee Stadium in an effort to sell everything inside, the Daily News has uncovered something in high demand that isn’t for sale: the old men’s room urinals. The bathroom fixtures — seen here in their former glory — are not part of the Steiner Sports stadium memorabilia packages, and Steiner officials say fans continue to ask after them. “People always ask for the bathroom stuff, like the urinals,” company CEO Brandon Steiner said to the News. “There were some strange requests.” Based on how those restrooms always looked after games, I’m not quite sure I’d really want to remember Yankee Stadium through a urinal.

no but having one in your house would be pretty awesome, esp if it actually functioned.

I wonder how much would an autographed urinal go for?

jsbrendog says:

autographed by whom is my question?

jsbrendog says:

I notice that Cervelli doesn’t use batting gloves either. I wonder if he pees on his hands also, or does Jorge provide that liquid for everyone?

How about some barriers for in between the upper deck urinals in the new Stadium? The lower deck urinals have them. Did they run out? Didn’t the old stadium have them in the upper deck, or is my memory playing tricks?

Charlie says:

the lower deck urinals really have them? that’s not right at all. The upper deck urinals were kinda ridiculous

 
Chris A says:

It’s a strong symbol of the social barriers in the new stadium.

 

Some of the lower-deck ones do, some don’t. The one right next to the bleachers, unsurprisingly, is barrier-free.

 
 
Tony says:

nothing like a urinal as a momento
