Outside Mercedes-Benz Stadium, crews are working to clean up the trash from the weekend. Some people said the sheer amount of trash was shocking.

“I’ve been looking at the news all week, so I could tell there was going to be a lot of people out here, but I wasn’t expecting all this. Not all of this," said resident Johnnie Pinkney III.
