Michigan State University Chosen for Sports Security Pilot Program
Michigan State University is one of five universities participating in a nationwide pilot program to test innovative security measures at sports facilities and entertainment venues in areas such as parking, concessions, merchandising and ticketing, according to an article from the university.
“The U.S. Department of Homeland Security ranks stadium attacks as one of the 12 most devastating possible acts of terrorism,” the article says. “The pilot program will create a risk management standard for major collegiate and professional venues to improve security measures and increase safety for the thousands of sports and entertainment fans who attend events each year.”
