The NCS⁴ Publishes Industry Research Report on Spectator Perceptions of Safety and Security Practices, Technologies, Threats, and Game-Day Experiences


The National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security (NCS⁴) at The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) publishes results from their Spectator Sports Safety and Security Survey in an Industry Research Report.

The study aimed to gauge sport spectators’ perceptions of safety and security at live events, awareness and support of policies and procedures, and willingness to embrace new measures and technological solutions to enhance their safety and game-day experience. Understanding spectators’ perceptions of safety and security practices and concerns while attending events can help venue and event directors plan accordingly to ensure the optimal spectator experience.
