People are just realizing the red balls outside Target are more than décor – and they’re not seats either
SUBURBAN Target stores tend to have the giant red balls outside of the building – but many have questioned their purpose.
One expert has revealed that the balls aren’t simply for decorative purposes, nor are they seats for shoppers who are coming and going.

Cathy Pedrayes, who shares safety and security tips on her social media pages and calls herself “The Mom Friend of the group,” revealed that the giant red balls are actually a safety feature.
“The red balls at Target are there for a reason,” she said over a video of herself cheerfully jumping off of one.
Pedrayes says that the balls are called bollards and that Target is one of many stores to use them for safety.
“Whether it’s a concrete ball or post, these can stop a car or truck from driving into the store.”

The video was liked over 500,000 times and received hundreds of shocked comments from users who had no idea about the safety feature.
“Not me thinking it was for sitting,” one person commented with a laughing emoji.
“Nah they’re for jumping,” a second user protested.
A third person even admitted they often tried pushing the balls over, but had no luck.

Fans clash and seats thrown inside Carrow Road during Norwich win over Millwall with police forced to intervene
FEUDING fans marred Norwich’s 2-0 Championship win over Millwall as police and stewards swarmed in to intervene.
A handful of missiles – including SEATS – were thrown as closely-packed supporters skirmished in the Carrow Road stands.

But the raging few were booed by a larger number of supporters.
And peace was restored after security staff formed a dividing wall.
Fans on social media pointed the finger at travelling Lions’ followers.
One said: “Chucking seats and fighting with police but saw no-one getting hauled out. Talk about living up to a reputation.”

A Norwich supporter posted: “Millwall fans letting themselves down.”
And another posted a clip alongside the words: “Millwall kicking off with the family end against Norwich. Hilarious.”
One fan was pictured with his fingers sprawled over a steward’s face amid angry shoving.
And a female member of security could be seen grimacing as she was caught in the middle of the shoving.

A handful of small objects also appeared to be thrown as aggressive chanting continued, but most supporters looked on stunned by the behaviour.
The disturbances, though, failed to dampen Norwich’s delight at their second impressive victory in four days.
USA frontman Josh Sargent thumped a 50th minute opener and neatly slotted the clincher.
Millwall boss Gary Rowett felt Sargent had impeded Scott Malone in the build-up.
But the Lions were largely outplayed.
And Canaries keeper Tim Krul had little to do, except tip a long-ranger from Millwall sub Andreas Voglsammer onto the bar late on.
