I had to put those on my mailbox. Out of all the mailboxes they seemed to like mine more than anyone else's. Maybe because there's a tree next to it where birds like to nest. We also put a bunch of them at the prison I worked. On the loading dock we had to install netting to keep them from nesting on the eave that covered the dock area. There were a lot of pigeons. Before we did that we had to hose down the dock every morning. It got pretty bad after a 3 day weekend.

i used to have 6 x 8-foot awnings above the entrances and windows of my restaurant, they were custom made, expensive as hell, but looked beautiful, unfortunately after two years i took them down because it became a full time job cleaning the starling crap off of them... funny, a few bird droppings on an outdoor patio deck is nothing, barely noticeable, and a snap to clean up if needed, but a few droppings on a dark awning, that streaks the width of the awning as it runs down after it hits, stands out like a sore thumb, and looks like, well, crap, alas... speaking of starlings, what a bunch of assholes, they wait until the sparrows build their nests and then swoop in, kick them out, and take over their nests!

If there is a national shutdown at some point would construction be halted on the stadium?
Would hate to have to start the season in the Coliseum.

They way things have been going I can see this as a very real possibility. They keep on saying how tight of a schedule they are on. This undoubtedly has caused them some major headaches and slowdowns and the worst is yet to come. Of course, its much too early for them to say. But once the dust settles...

The issue will start to be supplies to finish.

I’ll bet you the seats for SoFi were made in China. Hopefully they are done and sitting in a warehouse nearby.

It already has. What a letdown that would be. Even if they play the games...
