only in MSP?
Used the men's room in MSP first time last week, and it seems there are more toilet seats than urinals in men's room??
Is this only in MSP?

Honestly, I've never noticed.
In Southeastern Michigan, many of the older Meijer Supercenters had oversized bathrooms with way more stalls than urinals. Unfortunately, they gained a notoriety for um, Craigslist sexual indecencies, and in recent years were removed in favor of smaller bathrooms with as few as a single toilet and urinal. Not exactly convenient considering many of these stores have a footprint as large as 300,000 sq. ft...

Sadly +1 from me, @ IAH. I had to pee so bad it wasn't until I found myself washing my hands next to two females, that I thought something was up. Sad thing was my friend I was traveling with watched me run right in!

You betcha. We used to have a much more efficient system called the trough. More guys could stand along the same space, shoulder to shoulder. However a few years back we had to replace the trough with the current individual 1:1 urinals. Not a great use of space and an inefficient method of getting a lot of guys in and out of the men's room.

And they didn't scream?!I've never understood why it's so taboo for a guy to accidentally walk into a women's restroom, yet it's perfectly acceptable for women to raid the men's restroom (as is common at many sporting events).
I do recall, as a child, playing with the tampons I discovered in the restrooms on aircraft. My parents never said a word. Nor did they when I once purchased a "balloon" from the men's restroom as a kid.
I've only see those in ancient buildings, like the old Tiger Stadium; I can't recall them at MSP. Shamefully, I'm pee shy and it just won't work if somebody stands next to me.

haha right there with you on that one. I actually just googled it to see when they disappeared since I remember seeing less and less of them at Fenway over the years. Looks like they ripped em out around 1999.
