A man is suing the University of Nebraska, Lincoln over the release of balloons during Husker football games.
The Omaha World-Herald, which first reported the story, said that Randall S. Krause filed the lawsuit in federal court on Monday.
According to the suit, Krause said that the balloons represent a threat to the wildlife.
The lawsuit adds that the mass release of Husker balloons "puts virtually all species of birds, turtles, marine mammals, and small animals that live at the disposal site in harm's way."
Krause said that the balloons also puts children under 8 in danger. It states that "they can choke or suffocate from pieces of the popped balloons".
KMTV has contacted the university for comment, but have not returned our call.
The university has released thousands of balloons during Husker home games since the 1950s.
