New security measures established for stadium
The Associated Press
University of Kentucky's game against Indiana, which was postponed last week, has been rescheduled for Saturday, Dec.1, at 1 p.m. ET in Bloomington, Ind.
Also, in response to last week's terrorist attacks, UK has adopted additional security measures for its remaining games this season at Lexington's Commonwealth Stadium.
“We want to make sure our teams have a safe environment in which to play and that our fans, alumni and staff feel safe and secure while they're in attendance,” said Larry Ivy, UK's director of athletics. “We have always had emergency plans in place. The new steps we are taking will only enhance our current plan.”
Fans attending Saturday's Kentucky-Florida game are asked to arrive early for the 12:37 p.m. kickoff. A special pregame tribute will be conducted at about 12:15p.m.
Newly prohibited items for the game include backpacks, bags, containers and packages. As in the past, umbrellas, artificial noisemakers and video cameras or any other recording devices are not permitted.
Fans will be permitted to bring in cell phones, pagers, still cameras, small purses, binoculars, small radios and seat cushions. All items will be subject to search.
MIAMI: The RedHawks' Mid-American Conference game at Kent State has been rescheduled for Nov.24.
