After students claimed Event One staff patted them down at Saturday’s football game at Carter-Finley Stadium, the game operations staff of the athletic department said it is in the process of planning to take measures toward preventing the issue in the future.

“Our game operations staff is speaking with their event staff managers, asking them to review appropriate gate procedures with gate personnel,” Dick Christy, assistant athletics director, said.

Additional information has not yet been made available as the operations staff is in the process of informing event staff managers.

“I have not heard anything new. It is the Athletic Department’s area and I am waiting to hear back from them,” Will Quick, study body president and co-chair of the Football Task Force, said.

The Football Task Force was previously involved with the proposal of pat downs and has not been involved with prevention of the issue.

“The task force has already finished our work regarding that issue,” Tom Stafford, Football Task Force co-chair and vice chancellor for student affairs said.

Chancellor James L. Oblinger created the task force last fall because of complaints that tailgating at home football games had gotten too rowdy. The task force, composed of students, faculty, staff and representatives from the Wolfpack Club and the Alumni Association, recommended the rule changes.

The pat downs that allegedly occurred at Saturday’s game are against task force’s policies and procedures.

Assistant Athletics Director and Game Operations Administrator Shannon Yates, was not available for comment.
