Happens most everywhere. The media just doesn't always cover it. Events that do get covered are the only way most would know what it looks like afterwards.

I would say it's usually just events with lots of people coming in from out-of-town. People get here and aren't really sure how to conform to urban social norms. It's the same crowd that you hear complaining about "how dirty" it is in the city. I find it ironic.

Except da burbs are most always clean. The city not so much.

It's pretty much another example of how the city fails to prepare for large crowds.

How one can claim to know where the revelers reside & trying to turn this into a city - suburb argument is quite strange.

You could have put 10 dumpsters out there and it would have looked the same.

People, suburban and urban, are pigs. The city has litter and the suburban parkways are full of trash. It is just the fact that people feel that every problem, including having to hold onto trash until you have a proper way to dispose of it, can be solved by making it someone else's problem.

It's probably just easier (and more cost effective) to just have someone clean it up than rent dumpsters and then still have to clean it up.

I didn't say anything about the "suburbs". Sorry... didn't know you were trolling for that kind of argument, but I'm not interested.

If we are attempting to compare this crowd as some sort of justification of the behavior of people attending (or not attending) the Kenny Chesney concerts let me remind you all of something...

- 17 minors cited for underage drinking (one criminal charge pending)
- EMS responded to 170 calls
- Police made 10 arrests
- One man attacked a police officer
- One charge of attempted homicide (+aggravated assault and ethnic intimidation) when an African American man was beaten unconscious and thrown on the T tracks by a concert goer and his band of drunk friends.

If the hockey game approaches anything even remotely close to any of those numbers, then we can have a discussion.

Then who are the "out of town people"?

The an 'out of towners' but not the suburbs vs city argument which is even odder.

Or do you believe people on the city don't support the penguins enough to go watch the game at the arena? Really the entire comment made no sense really.
