How Will Tucson Incident Affect BCS Championship Game?
How will the shootings at a Tucson supermarket this past weekend affect tonight's BCS Championship game at the University of Phoenix Stadium?
Andrew Bagnato, the director of public relations for the BCS national championship, said law enforcement officials would meet to discuss security around the game, which is 120 miles away from the Tucson incident.
Bagnato said the shooting would be discussed at the meeting, which was previously scheduled, but he would not comment on the potential for added security around University of Phoenix Stadium. Security has appeared light in recent days around the site of the game, which is expected to draw more than 73,000 people in the venue and thousands of more outside. Bagnato said that several municipalities are involved in providing security around the game.
