I agree with “if you bring it in, please take it out .” I say lock the parking lot until the mess has been cleaned up after the game and then they will give throwing trash down a second thought. Should not be this way American's.
The University of Georgia is asking its football fans to help control the amount of trash littering its campus on game weekends.
Fans are being asked to adopt a “if you bring it in, please take it out” mentality.
“I believe the students, alumni and fans who attend UGA football games do love and respect this beautiful campus,” university president Michael F. Adams said in a release today. “And I fully expect that they will do their part to clean up after themselves and to ensure that others around them do the same.”
The school will distribute 12,000 trash bags in parking lots and around campus this Saturday before the Georgia Bulldogs play host to the Arizona State Sun Devils in a 7 p.m. kickoff. Volunteers from the Fellowship of Christian Athletes will walk through tailgating areas distributing trash bags and encouraging tailgaters to bag their trash and deposit it in an appropriate receptacle.
The number of disposable trash boxes on North Campus will be increased to 400 from the previous 250, and over the entire campus to 1,500 from the previous 1,200. Several large roll-off dumpsters will be placed strategically around campus for tailgaters to dispose of their bagged trash.

Boston93, that sounds like a great idea: trapping 92,746 angry football fans in a parking lot...there's no way that would turn out poorly.
We tailgated at the S.Carolina game and collected our garbage and then placed it next to the GA garbage receptacle. Why didn't we place it in the receptacle? Because it overflowed from other responsible fans. They need more receptacles.
I have had "Dawgs" get in my trash frequently.
