How to Survive a Stadium Riot
_______________________________________

1. Scan the crowd.
   Determine the focus of the rioting and physically distance yourself as quickly as possible.


2. Create a protection helmet.
   Stuff crumpled-up newspaper or cardboard inside your hat for cushioning. If you do not have a hat, place an empty popcorn tub or other container over your head.


3. Move away from the mascots.
   Regardless of whether they are the focus of the riot, both teams' mascots are especially vulnerable to attack.


4. Watch for projectiles.
   Bend your knees and keep your head low to avoid flying cans, bottles, pennants, water balloons, rocks, pipes, benches, people, or other objects.


5. Move sideways through the crowd to the nearest exit.
   Avoid moving forward (toward the center of the riot) or backward (against the surging mob).
