Bat poop is a health hazard

Bat poop is a health hazard

I am writing to express complete disgust on something that I observed at Saturday's game against Kansas. I am a senior at Texas A&M and go to every home game possible. At the Kansas game I had seats on second deck right below third deck's overhang. As my boyfriend and I arrived at our seats, we saw that there were bat droppings all over the ground and all over the seats for as far as we could see. I was completely disgusted. I feel that with the amount of money that I pay to attend A&M, I should not have to sit in bat crap. Not only is it simply disgusting, but it is a serious health hazard. Many people around us bought Cokes and after people stood up on the bleachers, the poop was knocked into the Cokes. How hard would it be for A&M to clean that off before each game? I was fortunate enough to have brought a water bottle, but still - it was all over the bottom of my bottle.

Must be an MRS Major...

I'll make it easy for you:
Step 1: Get a paper towel from the bathroom.
Step 2: Brush said bat dropping away.

FYI: your tuition and fee dollars don't have anything to do with TAMU Sports so that complaint is moot. (Continued…)

Girly Girls Complain Too Much

Wow! I forgot that people didn't make useful tools out of guano, aka "bat poop." I've got an idea. Why don't we start a student organization, funded by student fees of course, that cleans all the guano and pigeon poop on campus. (Continued…)

Bat Poop was the most disgusting thing you saw at the game!? If thats the case, you should probably just stay home and watch Grey's Anatomy on your clean couch from now on. (Continued…)

I saw a dog dropping on campus today...just about threw up....
Really now. Did you not see the myth busters episode with the tooth brush? That thing was covered in feces, even when it was stored a few rooms away from the bathroom. (Continued…)

Anyone else thinking of Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls?

As someone getting my MRS major I am offended that people like you give us MRS majors a horrible name.

"I am a senior at Texas A&M and go to every home game possible."

And you're just now noticing the guano?

Perhaps you should make use of this resource and entertain yourself with it. During the game, I devised plays with this "poop" that were much more interesting than the poor excuse of an offense being called on Kyle Field. (Continued…)
