The Buffalo Bills Are Auctioning Off Their Old Used Urinal Troughs
Pretty stupid of me to come across this story this morning and think somehow Big Cat wouldn't have already been all over this.
I hate to give away the playbook, but if the Bills are really looking to make some money (or run Barstool Sports out of business), they should send in a plant to bid against Big Cat and drive up the price. I shudder to think how much life-changing money my boss would spend to acquire a urinal trough from Highmark Stadium. That's the most up-Big-Cats-alley auction item I've ever seen. If the day those troughs arrive at Barstool Chicago, I receive an email saying my contract has been terminated, I'll know why. And I'd fully understand. I can't pretend that I bring more value to the company than something for Nicky Smokes to take a piss in.
Although if I had to argue against it, I would say that urinal troughs are OUT. Piss walls are IN.
I'd also be interested in seeing our Chicago office install a James Madison style toilet (or Missouri State style urinals) that look out over the basketball court.

And while I'm on the topic of stadium toilets, I just came across this unique set up at Hawaii's old Aloha Stadium that featured a urinal trough with privacy walls.
Don't those dividers seem a little wide-set? Makes me think there might have been situations where two people were squeezed in shoulder-to-shoulder pissing together in one spot.
Anyways, I can't seem to find where exactly people can bid on these urinal troughs. It appears they will eventually be auctioned off by the company CollectibleXchange. But currently, on the Bills official website, you can purchase stadium seats and pieces of turf for fairly reasonable prices.

I like that two-seater bench for $549.99. Looks like the perfect not-very-comfortable but sort-of-cool-I-guess place to sit and drink some cold beers in your friend's cold garage. I would also be interested in the very specific piece of turf where Damar Hamlin died and came back to life.
Along with the seats, and the turf, and the troughs, it looks like the Bills will also be auctioning off the lights on top of their stadium. Among other things.
BTMP – “I knew it'd be fun taking the stadium apart, because I know it'd be meaningful," said Steiner. "You know, memorabilia is meaningful memories. I always say they call it memorabilia, but it's meaningful memories. And I felt like I'd go create some really cool products.”
Steiner said there’s keepsake possibilities for everyone. From section signs, pieces of the field and of course the thousands of seats.
“The lights on the top of the stadium, they're huge. Like to have one of those is kind of a good conversation piece," he said. "You know, a locker where you have your kids stuff put in there, whether it be the visitor's locker, maybe Brady's locker, Josh Allen's locker. Those are just cool, really cool keepsakes. Pieces of the goal post, too. So many field goals have been kicked in those with those goal posts.”
Not sure where you would put giant NFL stadium lights, but considering the Bills loyal fan base (and Big Cat's deep pockets), I'm sure they'll have no problem selling them off.
