Hand washing troughs at Coors Field?

2. What an amazingly stupid poll

The guys see's a broken toilet in the Brand New Miami stadium and gives the whole stadium an F.

Who publishes this tripe.

3. According to the article,

"UFE reporters apparently get excited by hand-washing."

It's not necessarily the Park. It's what fans do in the Park.

"ball-washing"

8. Luckily, they never visited Fenway Park in the mid-seventies during a Yankee series.

9. I've been to a number of parks and thought for sure that Fenway would

be in the bottom 10. It's not necessarily dirty, but wasn't as clean as some of the other parks I'd been to. Then I read the list and realized that the other parks I'd been to rated higher (at least in appearance, I didn't survey how many people washed their hands or keep a close eye on the concessions vendors).

I didn't think Wrigley was that bad, but I somehow managed to not use the bathroom there despite putting down 5 or 6 beers.

Dirtiest park I had been to, by far, was the old Yankee stadium. Even the Olympic stadium up in montreal, which looked like a toilet, was very clean inside. I guess it's easier to keep a place clean with only about 1000 fans.

I thought Camden Yards was beautiful and clean, but I didn't bring my microscope.
