The Eagles will open Tulsa's new BOK Center on September 6, 2008 and more than 18,000 screaming fans will be there when they take the stage.

But before the grand opening, BOK officials had to make sure the facility could handle the crowds. That meant checking all of the facilities.

So on Tuesday, 350 Green Country kids flushed all of the toilets at the center at once.

"I flushed a toilet before, so it's really easy," said Super-Flusher Alana Ziegler.

The good news - all went as planned, so BOK officials have one less thing to worry about.

"Very important. They're a big help, to be able to go through and flush all the toilet in a sequel tells us if we have any real problems or not," explains Rick Cole, the General Superintendent. "The operator can feel comfortable that when they pack the house for an event that all the toilets will flush."

As for the "super flushers" - they were just excited to be a part of the ceremonial event.
