I really wish more respect for our female officials were built into the attitude of those who design the facilities.
Here the facility is 16 years old & we have 2 officials' locker rooms. However majority of the time when we have female officials they are already dressed before arriving at the site. however it doesn't help that periodically the one officials' locker room is used as storage.
