Details: I am performing research on the increasing number of incidents at sporting events involving fans interrupting games by entering the field of play. I am seeking the following information from the University of Connecticut Athletic Department:
Current policies intended to prevent and/or respond to playing space trespassing or invasions at athletic department facilities.
By “playing space invasions,” I mean individuals (e.g. fans or unauthorized individuals) entering the field of play without permission. These people may have various purposes, whether it is to interact with a player, disrupt the game, or draw attention to themselves. Further, by "athletic department facilities," I mean any stadium or arena used by a varsity team for gameday competition and ticketed events where fans are present.
