Here's what it looks like when fun is allowed lol
Okay that does look like it would take a bunch of effort to clean up. You could wait until the next rains thoroughly soak the paper and it might rip down on its own, but it might also be blown around everywhere. Better to take it down before it rains and dispose of it with less mess. I'm guessing the original pranksters would be made to do that?
No it's a college tradition in Auburn University, they roll the whole lawn after a game win.
The trick is that they use the cheapest ultra thin toilet paper that's easy enough to actually launch and unroll itself, which also makes it easier to clean up.
afaik they hire some private contractor to clean after every game. They don't need a lot of people but they do use lifts and stuff to reach the branches.
