COMMENTARY

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — “We’re gonna miss the whole second half!” said the guy in the flying WV hat, stuck in a lengthy men’s room line that was hardly flying.

That was Wednesday night, during West Virginia’s basketball home finale, but it could have been any night for any game, when lines snaking out of the restrooms deprived fans of exciting plays they paid to see.

The WVU Coliseum, rising iconically from Mon Boulevard, is no longer so stately on the interior. Cramped concourses create body-traffic jams. Fans entering the gates crosscut fans in backed-up concession lines.
