The National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security (NCS4) will host the seventh annual National Marathon and Endurance Events Safety and Security Forum on Dec. 8-9, 2020, in a virtual format.
Out of sheer necessity, sports security has been evolving rapidly since the Boston Marathon bombing, and most sports security professionals refer to that particular event as a turning point. Metal detectors have become commonplace in major league stadiums, new security policies have been formed, and even tailgating was banned at this year’s Super Bowl.
