Frank Pribyl, a senior in transportation and logistics, said cleaning the stadium is a dirty job. It can be pretty gross, especially when it rains. Rachel Schoepf, a junior in English, agreed. We don't wear gloves, so we have to pick up piles of beer-soaked peanuts with our bare hands. You smell like beer for the rest of the day.
Volunteers divide into two groups when tackling the cleanup.
Some toss trash into garbage bags while they cover the area from the stadium to Hilton Coliseum. The rest use blowers in the stadium stands to remove trash from under the seats. Cleanups can take anywhere from three to five hours. It's unpredictable how long a job will take. When evening events are held at the stadium, volunteers work late into the night.
