Spectator Injured at Football Stadium

I hold spectator safety in the highest regard. At our stadium, we constantly seek to update and improve our policies and procedures to maintain the highest levels of safety and enjoyment for fans. Specifically, after learning about an injury that occurred offsite, involving an inflatable bouncy house that was carried away in high winds, I changed our policy to restrict the use of our inflatable attraction if winds exceed 12mph. When we designed and built stadium, we had such potential safety hazards in mind and purposely purchased garbage cans with adequate weight to prevent them from being blown over in heavy winds and bolted down practically all exposed items, including picnic tables and other portable equipment. Our standard operating procedures dictate that during inclement weather our ushers move fans under the protection of the structure between the first and second levels. In certain cases when weather is clearly going to be an issue we will close off our picnic areas ahead of time to avoid an incident.
