Re: Airplanes. Airplanes everywhere!

I love the paper airplanes, I think most of us do. And yeah I don't think that the volunteers have to clean them all up, but I don't see a huge problem with them before Einstein or opening ceremonies, but it seems so tied to me when people throw them while there are people on stage speaking. It seems like it gets kind of out of hand.

Re: Airplanes. Airplanes everywhere!

Someone from the upper deck just threw a plane onto Newton field at the end of match 68. Completely unacceptable! They should be ejected from the arena.

I feel like that's the main issue with the paper airplanes: when they land on the field. Keeping them in the stands is okay, but they can still get difficult to control. It's all in good fun but fun can still have consequences.

Not difficult to control if you have control of your team. Last year someone thought it would be funny to dump a load of shredded paper from the upper deck. The real question is-how did the mentors not know?

I love the airplanes. I have a problem with teams not watching their members.

its only gonna be a problem in the 2016 water game, because the staff will have to fish out all the soggy paper airplanes from the field.

Yeah, that makes sense. It's likely that maybe some team members split up from the team, but that's a different issue altogether regarding keeping track of ones team.
I remember last year our chief mentor told everyone on our team to pick up as many paper airplanes as they threw, to try to take care of at least some of the waste.

Re: Airplanes. Airplanes everywhere!

I actually love the airplanes and I miss coming to St. Louis this week. For personal reason I was not able to come with my team despite this is our most successful year and I am the main mentor and sponsor.

One simple way to deal with the "litter" is to place multiple green recycle container in each section of the dome and have a small competition just before the ceremony start to see which section can put all their "litter" into the green recycling container the fastest.

Re: Airplanes. Airplanes everywhere!

To clarify, volunteers do not pick up the airplanes. In fact, when we started we were told to stop because there was a union that took care of it.

Re: Airplanes. Airplanes everywhere!

Airplanes are one thing, but I think we can all agree that throwing large, tightly wadded rolls of paper towels into the stands isn't a good idea, right?

Re: Airplanes. Airplanes everywhere!

I just saw a neat circular one make it to the middle of the field, and then another of the same design all the way past the field.

Re: Airplanes. Airplanes everywhere!

If you're legitimately upset by people having fun by throwing some paper airplanes, you should probably find something to be more concerned about.

Also, this kind of stuff totally happens in actual sports - not that we need to try and be like a professional sport. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtE7eFcKvvs
