The numbers seem out of whack on these last three. I mean, 77 lot attendants and 100 suite hosts? And only 89 people to clean the whole mess up afterwards?

And 50 public agencies involved? I didn't know that many agencies even existed.

There are about 25 lots. Last year there was only one attendant in my lot but there are two this year for a pretty small lot. There have to be 6-8 for the parking garage northeast of the stadium. And last I knew there was one host for each suite, maybe a few extras here and there (not sure how many suites there are now).

Seems like there should be more clean-up people but there isn't any time constraints on that. That would be about one person per section.

I was curious about the public agencies as well. No idea who the 50 would be.

 
My house on gameday; By the numbers

5 Husker households on my cul de sac in Colorado.

1 wife that knows not to bother me during the game

1 or 2 kids that couldn't care less

1 next door Ohio State fan that's getting pretty insufferable.

3 refrigerators stocked with plenty of beer

Actually, the ROTC students clean up after the games.

My step-daughter's roommate is in the Air Force ROTC, and they cleaned up after the first game.

She didn't get home until 4:00 AM.

I usually do my best to clean up after myself, but I have been guilty of leaving a pizza box behind or something. But after hearing that, I definitely make it a point to leave nothing from me behind.

I previously assumed they had a paid third party come in and clean after the games. But learning that they were unpaid ROTC students made me think about cleaning up after myself. I don't want to tell you guys what to do, but I'd definitely suggest picking up an item or two to give those poor kids a break.

Did not know that. Thanks for the info.

 
Why cant everyone just pickup one piece of trash and throw it away on their way out. Seriously. What a bunch of lazy and unthiughtful pieces of sh#t weve become. (Society. Not just us fans)

I used to clean the stands at TCU after every home game. It was part of the baseball program in HS. Was pretty cool to see a game for free and run around the field after it was all cleaned up.
