CROWD CONTROL PLAN AT ROSE STADIUM

 

  1. The Athletic Director will conduct weekly or bi-weekly meetings with the stadium security to discuss problems and solutions.  (The first of these meetings was held Thursday, September 4th, with Bobby Garmon and Jimmy Mount).  This meeting will be the responsibility of the AD.

 

  1. An understanding of expectations regarding canned drinks in the stadium must be adhered to by all support groups.  Arrangements can be made to allow such groups to go outside the fences (Gate 7) if this is necessary or behind the field house.  This is a practice that has been followed on the visitor’s side for many years.  We can reserve an area outside Gate 2 (Home Team support groups) that can be designated for the purpose of serving canned drinks.

 

  1. Most problems are generally started by non-students.  We can reduce the likelihood that this will occur if we have a designated area for REL/JT students only.  We will secure the SW stands for students from REL/JT if they can be identified by student ID cards. 

 

  1. Starting with the band and drill team (Section L) only, those with reserved seat tickets or student ID’s will be allowed south of this section.  We will control this area with security at the top of Sections H, I, J, K and L.  The lower area will be controlled with a gate between Section L and M.  Those with general admission tickets will be seated in Sections M and N.  Security or school personnel will be placed at each entrance.  The walkway at the bottom of each section should be kept clear except during half-time.  Should we have more general admission or student tickets than room allows, they will be forced to the east side.

 

  1. Rose Stadium security will have a plan to deal with those who stand around behind the stands and block exit lanes.  Students can expect disciplinary action if they refuse to cooperate or be escorted out of the stadium.

 

  1. We are asking the TISD Police Department to formulate a plan for the use of metal detectors if the need should arise.

 

  1. The Athletic Office will monitor ticket sales each week.  The number of seats available will determine the number of tickets to be sold.  Usually tickets are available on the visitor’s side for overflow.

 

  1. Fans will not be allowed to form groups in passageways.

 

  1. Fans should not congregate at any entrance, exit or walkway.

 

  1.  Any kind of altercation could result in being escorted to Jail.

 

  1. Mechanical devices or air horns are not allowed.
