A little bit more from the "Big Flush" this past Saturday

For some reason, this whole event really makes us laugh, even though it is a logistical necessity. Something about hoards of plumbers pouring through the gates of the New Yankee Stadium, eagerly flushing toilets just tickles the funny bone.

Below is a photo you should probably frame. It will likely be the one and only time a bathroom stall at Yankee Stadium is this clean:



Stadium Insider has not received word on whether this plumber did the honors of christening the facilities, but one can only assume he did. We would have.

Enjoy the photo, folks. As much as Stadium Insider will be covering the new stadium inside and out once the gates open, we don't plan on taking pictures in the bathroom. Fellow Yankee fans probably wouldn't think too kindly of those photos, and we'd rather not lose our season tickets over bathroom photography. Sorry to let everyone down!

These photos were lifted from The Voice of The Yankee Universe, who lifted them from topkidnum1, Clarissa Rivera & Hardcore Shutterbug. I assume these were taken from either flickr.com or one of the various message boards out there constantly churning out New Yankee Stadium photos. If anyone wants to claim ownership of these photos, I will gladly credit you properly.

Super flushing day at the New Yankee Stadium is a success on the third try

Hat tip to Sliding Into Home for linking to this brand new video on Youtube:



In the event that you don't want to listen to the most annoying rendition of "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" ever, just skip to the end of the video for the interest part. It says:

NY Yankee Stadium Super Flushing Day was an exercise to check for leaks and to see if there would be enough water pressure. After two unsuccessful attempts, we succeeded on our third try.

Logistically, this makes a ton of sense, but I never even thought about something like this occurring. I'm glad to hear they finally got things working on the third try. The burning question remains: will be hot water in the new stadium's bathrooms? There was nothing like attending a game in April or October with temperatures in the 40's and washing your hands with cold water. Ahhh, the joys of the old Yankee Stadium.
