I then read the article and it looks a little tougher than I thought it would be just to respectfully stand aside due to the small dressing room and the "reputation" you might be tagged with. So, I can see where you are coming from.
The umpire dressing room at the local minor league stadium has an exterior door that opens directly into the "dressing area" which is roughly 5' by 8' with one wall lined with a bench. The umpires stow their gear and uniforms and change in this area. This is also where they are served post game dinner, two hotdogs and a coke that was placed there in the seventh inning. An interior door at the end of that room leads to a room about 5' by 4' that has a toilet and shower.
