Just Disgusting

At SBPLI there were plenty of trash cans and the custodial staff was constantly changing the bags and tending to the bathrooms. There was still a great deal of trash left in the stands when people didn't clean up after themselves. There were complete plates of food from the social dinner dropped in the stairwells and left for someone else to clean up.


We also had damage to some ceiling light fixtures from poof ball play in the lobby area.

1038, after awards, went back up into the stands at pittsburgh and cleaned as much as we could. while we were in the upper stands, there was alot of trash, mostly broken glowsticks that were making the floors glowing..and a lil gross too. i had no idea there was vandalism at pittsburgh, but somebody did spill my friend's mostly full pop onto the floor..which spread to like 5 rows, and there were those little bottles of bubbles everywhere. it was pretty kinda messy and gross, but i've seen messier.

I'd like to think in general a FIRST audience would leave less a mess than a general audience. At SBPLI, I was able to compare the mess (or relative lack) left by the regional with a basketball game that postponed our setup on Wednesday. The difference was quite noticeable - there was all kinds of trash and spilled soda left behind from the basketball game. The only thing I noticed much of after the regional was a multitude of plastic water bottles (see recycling thread!).

Well our Team has noticed in the past how messy the stands have gotten so this year we were really careful- we even brought our own bags for the stands and the pits. And I don't really like to say it, but on Friday night we cleaned up one of the neighboring sections that another team had left a mess. Overall, the trash was so bas on Friday that they actually announced to the teams on saturday to try and keep the stands clean. They were definately better most of the day Saturday but as we were leaving, some of the other teams' sections were still a mess.
