I didn't realize how messy and inconsiderate spectators can be with respect to the garbage they generate after consuming peanuts. The shells are scattered everywhere. Last year, it was our first experience with spectators who consumed peanut in close proximity - two rows behind us. It was windy and the peanut shells were scattered too close for comfort. We left our seats and watched the rest of the game from the air-conditioned area where food was served.

Lesson Learned: Be prepared for peanut eating fans at a ballgame and be prepared to move seats or leave early. Safer to sometimes watch a sporting event from home or if you can afford it - a skybox where you can control what food is consumed around you.
