- Here's what to keep in mind if you're heading out to the game or a watch party:
- Stay aware: Keep an eye on your surroundings, especially in crowded areas near the stadium, fan zones, and public transit hubs.
- Report suspicious activity: If you see something, say something. Report any concerns to law enforcement immediately, and use the Citizen app to alert your community.
- Locate exits: Familiarize yourself with the nearest exits and emergency services when you arrive at the stadium or watch party venue.
- Stay hydrated: Drink water throughout the day and night, especially in the summer heat and in crowded environments.
- Follow staff instructions: Listen to event staff and follow any instructions or announcements.
- Plan your route home: Know how you're getting home before you go. Expect heavy traffic and crowded transit near the stadium after the match. Allow extra travel time.
