It’s Friday night, and that means high school football. But Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools has made changes for fans looking to attend high-profile games.
CMS said it will implement additional security measures at some football games that the school district designates as high-profile with extraordinary circumstances. These will be based on large expected crowds, previous incidents at the host school, or a request by the school or law enforcement.
When a game is deemed high-profile, tickets won’t be sold at the game site, and sales will close the day before at 2 p.m. CMS will also cap the number of tickets and add attendance limits, such as barring students from noncompeting schools from entering the game.
Notifications will be sent by 2 p.m. the Monday before those games, following a security-planning meeting.
