Jimmy Buffett fans have gained a reputation for creating DIY toilets in the tailgate area of shows.

News of the strange phenomenon broke in the lead up to a show at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, Massachusetts, when fans had allegedly left remnants of such devices for several years running.

News broke when local officials posted photos of various contraptions left behind over the years and told fans to please use proper facilities this year.

"The folks at Live Nation New England have supplied the parking lots with an abundance of actual, health-code-compliant toilets that aren't attached to the bumper of a pickup truck. We want to get the word out early this year that the "tent toilets" will not be permitted or tolerated.

We know, we know . . . . no one likes to poo in a Porta-Loo, but think of it as an experience to build character.

Like showering at camp with a family of spiders."
