The National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security (NCS⁴) at The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) has published results from its Venue Security Director Survey in an Industry Report.

The sporting world faces unique challenges when returning to play following a global pandemic, and many leagues, teams, and venues are exploring ways to maintain or improve their security operations. The purpose of this survey is to explore professional sports venue security issues, emerging threats, and technology solutions. Information gleaned from this study will assist venue directors in policy development, increase awareness of technology solutions, identify resource needs, and address training gaps to help protect human, physical, and cyber assets.
