I'm not talking about the Buffalo Bills' offense.  The NFL has according to this story discussed a problem with bird poop falling on patrons and into their food and beverages, in Cincinnati's  Paul Brown Stadium.

Operators of Paul Brown Stadium want permission from the city to kill birds the birds by allowing stadium employees who are familiar with firearms be allowed to shoot birds a few days prior to an event, adding that company officials believe the shooting to be a “cost-effective way to get this problem under control.”

The bird problem reportedly solved itself initially, with fan noise on game days driving the birds away, said Bob Bedinghaus, the Bengals’ director of development. But the birds apparently have adapted. In fact, pigeon poop has become such a big problem around the National Football League, he said, that officials have discussed it at league meetings and stadium management meetings.

Poop falling into food and on patrons is probably not a good idea.
