Stadium seats aren’t always the most comfortable, but the Lake County Captains, the High-A affiliate of the Cleveland Guardians, seemed to have found a No. 2 option.
The team has revealed the “Roto-Rooter Toilet Row,” in partnership with the plumbing company, with the toilet bowl seats situated behind home plate in what the Captains described as “a groundbreaking first in Minor League Baseball.”
Yes, toilet seats.
Just roll with it.
There are a total of eight seats that are described as “deluxe,” “high-end” and with views that are “unparalleled” to take in the game.
“Everyone deserves a VIP experience, and with Toilet Row, we’re taking that to a whole new level,” Captains general manager Jen Yorko said on the team’s website. “Thanks to Roto-Rooter, fans can now enjoy the game from the best ‘seat’ in the house.”
Not only are the views ideal from the just $16 seats, but patrons naturally also have access to a bathroom attendant, Horatio, who will ensure that all guests have everything they need from mouthwash to combs throughout the game.
For the Captains’ game on Saturday against the Great Lakes Loons, the toilet row is sold out.
And what’s a toilet seat without a plunger?
The Captains did their duty to create Roto-Rooter’s Plunger Challenge in which two individuals during each game will try to launch and stick the plunger onto a Roto-Rooter target.
“Two brave souls will battle it out each game to see who can expertly launch and stick a plunger onto Roto-Rooter’s target,” Yorko said. “Winners score not just bragging rights, but a prime spot in the coveted Roto-Rooter Toilet Row.”
The winner will earn the best throne on the toilet row.
Fans have already flocked to the comment section of the Captains’ post on X to weigh in on the new seats.
“My legs go numb after 20 minutes. You gonna offer walking assistance after 9 innings?” an X user wrote.
The Captains responded, “Our ushers are supreme.”
Another wrote: “FINALLY a real solution for my terrible IBS AND love of baseball.”
“Sill goose activity,” and the Captains responded “the silliest.”
