...might as well flush a few toilets in the new arena.

Construction is near completion on the NHL team’s new arena, the Consol Energy Center. But like with any new arena or stadium, officials need to simultaneously flush all the toilets and urinals to make sure everything is working. The Penguins are calling the June 10 event the "Student Flush," a spinoff of their popular ticketing program known as "Student Rush."

There's no indication in the story, but I'm 99.9% positive filling said toilet before flushing is not a requirement. However, should that actually be the case, might I suggest the Penguins utilize Craigslist in the Montreal area. The fans up there tend to be full of crap.

Awesome promotion. Fun! My daughter is now desperate to be over 18 and living in Pittsburgh right now. She says she would want the boys washroom to see what it looks like. Seriously, this is a fun and different way to showcase an arena.

Kevin James and Russell Peters don’t come up with stuff like this on a good day.

Pittsburgh sports all the way

I have to admit that when I saw this story on twitter it made me feel sad (the original story, not this blog post). Because this is what it has come to — today the top news story for my team is that a lot of toilets need to be flushed. Next season can’t come soon enough.
