Security reminder about Ohio Stadium

The Ohio State athletic department sent out a note with reminders about Ohio Stadium security heading into the Buckeyes’ game against Illinois at 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The text is below:

The security and safety procedures for home football games at The Ohio State University will be maintained at their current levels. Bags will continue to be vigilantly checked upon entry into Ohio Stadium for the remainder of the football season. Those entering the stadium are advised to allow additional time to ensure they arrive for the start of the game, Mike Penner, assistant athletics director for event management, said Thursday. The Buckeyes open Big Ten play at 3:30 p.m. Saturday vs. Illinois.

“We take the security of our fans, student-athletes and staff seriously,” Penner said. “Recent advisories issued by the federal government have provided us the opportunity to re-emphasize to our staff and our fans the procedures we already have in place.”
