When a school gives us a key, I take it off any keychain it is on and put it in my back pocket. No one knows it's there and I have it all night. Saves us from having to get it from the table or find someone to open the door for us.

Here, it's usually an A/D's office or nurse's office. Both almost always have sinks, but only the A/D's have showers, typically.

On my island excursion last weekend (92 students in the K-12 school), it was an equipment room, neither sink nor shower. Two year old gym, too.

All Aboard, The FUNK Ferry! :D

Best "locker room" ever was a teacher's lounge with a fridge filled with snacks, huge plush sofa, nice shower and bathroom and a big-screen TV. Varsity guys would ride with the JV guys just to get out of the house and watch some tube before their game. :)

Sadly, that school built a new facility and our accommodations aren't nearly as pleasant. :(

Quite funky and definitely not Bootsy Collins approved.

Most of the schools...
 

...in my area have been built in the last 15 years, or have had new gyms built in that time. We generally have access to a coaches office that will have a bathroom and shower. Sometimes there's clutter, or every now and then a school may have inadvertently turned its hot water off for the weekend, but most times the facilities are good.

If I work a private school, or a school that doesn't have a dedicated shower for the officials, I'll use whichever locker room that's empty.

What Were You Doing In Connecticut ???
 

I worked with that guy last night.

That Guy is everywhere.

Closet off of the marching band practice room...Early basketball season, late football season....With the band practicing.

And my reaction is...more power to him. I'll have half my uniform off before he gets to the locker room.

Been there...literally. It's my least favorite as well.....

My least favorite was the wrestling coach's office, while the wrestlers were weighing in.

A Helpful Tactile Feature
 

Favorites are the two recently remodeled local schools, each of which now have lavish, spacious, dedicated officials' locker rooms complete with a hallway signs saying "Officials" both in English...and in Braille. Helps to know I'm headed into the right room. :)

And if you can't spot That Guy....

(finish the sentence)

Before they tore down the old Chicago Stadium(the grand old lady) there was a black tie event that was held on the floor. We snuck around and went down to the team locker rooms for Hawks and Bulls which was shockingly a dump. Even more shocking was the officials locker room which was very tiny and cramped with cheap wood walls that were white washed with nails for hanging clothes. I don't recall any lockers. I was blown away at how shabby it was.

From there after a few more cocktails we were entertaining the idea of sneaking out one of the blackhawk goals, but it wouldn't fit in the trunk.
