There were not enough bathrooms for the crowd of 34,000.
The MLB season is only one game old and the renovations at Wrigley Field are already a nightmare for Chicago Cubs fans.
Due to a lack of usable restrooms on Opening Night, lines were so long that fans missed multiple innings of the game and some even resorted to urinating into their plastic concession stand cups, according to multiple reports.
According to Nightengale, there were only two working bathrooms on the main concourse level for the 34,000 fans in attendance. Even St. Louis Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak was forced to give up and go to the clubhouse to find a restroom he could use.
Chicago Cubs spokesperson Julian Green told Business Insider that two bathrooms in the upper deck temporarily were out of order, forcing fans to the main level adding to the already long waits for those restrooms.
"With 35,000 fans showing up in the ballpark, we were simply not prepared to handle guests during peak periods," Green said. "We have high standards for service and we missed the mark last night."
Green also apologized to Cubs fans and noted that the team will add portable units for future games.
