Collegiate stadiums and arenas have been identified by the Department of Homeland Security as potential targets for terrorist activity. In the post 9/11 world, there is no room for complacency. Sport events in the United States offer the potential for a large number of casualties as well as widespread media coverage and economic impact. The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and the University of Southern Mississippi Center for Spectator Sports Security Management, invite intercollegiate athletics administrators, event managers and athletics conference administrators to a one-day workshop to better understand the current issues and solutions to sport security on your campus.
