TGIF! It’s championship weekend! Can’t wait for the CC matchup in the LIX bowl.

Survival – Personal Edition

Say you’re at the stadium or arena watching a game in person. (Or working there, Hi MeadDudeSame!) Then, something happens and the whole damn crowd loses its mind and starts a riot. Here’s how to stay safe.

• Look around at the crowd. The riot will be heading in one general direction. You’ll want to distance yourself quickly.
• If you’re in enemy territory, hide your team themed clothing. Hide them in a (non team themed) bag if you got one. Hide or obscure team logos. As a last resort, just leave it behind. Note, make sure that the riot is actually about your teams’ fans first.
• Make yourself a helmet. If you have a hat, stuff it with paper or cardboard for extra cushion. If you don’t, find a container that fits over your head and stuff that one.
• No matter what, steer well clear of any mascots. Did you know mascots are the most likely victim in a sport riot? Well, they are. So stay away.
• There are going to be projectiles. And most of them will hurt if they hit you. So, even though you have the super cool helmet, make sure to keep your head lower than those around you. Just bend those knees and keep on moving.
• When you’re in a crowd, get a sense of the direction it’s moving. The safest way out is sideways. Moving with the crowd will only bring you to the heart of the riot, while trying to move against the crowd will be very difficult.
• Finally, if you’re the object of the riot, forget all of this and just run as fast as you can.

So that sporting event didn’t go quite as planned, but at least you made it out unscathed. Don’t worry, the next time will be much better, I promise.
