UVA Emergency Management (EM) has been preparing to provide spectator safety and security support for all home football games. Using a new state-of-the-art event management software platform, EM helps plan and coordinate the combined efforts of police and public safety departments from the University, Charlottesville, Albemarle County, and the State of Virginia. Each football game provides an opportunity for state and local resources to manage large-scale non-emergency events in real time while remaining ready to rapidly respond to small or large-scale emergency situations if needed.  Football games attract anywhere from 30,000-50,000 fans to Scott Stadium, making them the single largest gathering of people on Grounds.
