I say snow removal because where else in the world do NFL football fans show up by the thousands to shovel out their stadium before a game after a major (more than 5") snowfall. Only in Green Bay WI at Lambeau Field! Yes, they get paid (I think it is $10.00 per hour). For many who are unemployed in the winter, this is their Christmas and bill-paying money, so it is a big-deal to those who need the work that is hard-to-find in the winter. Kind of a moot issue now with NO FANS IN THE STANDS due to the pandemic.
