More Quotes from Nina Simmons:
And then we go around to anybody sitting in the end zones - particularly families with small children - and say, Look, we would really like for you to take them to the tunnels when there's about 45 seconds left on the clock and just watch the remainder of the game from there. You'd be a lot safer. Usually they're fine with that. You just need to talk to them about it and tell them why it's important.Nina Simmons

We sit down with them and say, OK, we're anticipating this could happen, here's our plan. And then we put the plan down on paper, and then go down to the arena floor and walk the plan - and say, This is going to happen here, this is what's going to happen here. Anybody have ideas about how we should handle it And we talk through them and talk through any ideas - and sometimes we make changes. We've got it down to about as good as we can do with what we have to do with.

You cannot hire enough security to truly stop them. But what you can do is create a situation where you have security bringing down students. And you don't want that. You don't want the PR nightmare of somebody getting hurt. It's so much easier to try to control the chaos than it is to do that.
