Changes at the ballpark

I have not been to the ballpark in probably over 2 years and I noticed some things while I was at the game last night. Besides the fact that the Cards lost in an impressive pitching performance by Jeff Francis...I noticed
  • The men's room is labeled "Hombres" in addition to "Men". I'm not a strict "English-only" American, but does the men's room with it's universal "man" symbol really need to be bi-lingual?
  • The men's room is equiped with syringe disposal. I presume for the growing American population suffering from diabetes and that will have to administer insulin at the ballgame.
So we are left with the anecdotal facts that there are more Spanish-speaking, and diabetic Americans...at least at the ballpark.
