CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Protesters stole the spotlight on the Carolina Panthers game Monday night.Β
Ahead of Β Sunday’s game against the Packers, Panthers officials announced there will not be any changes to security.
Β
Security expert, Dan Stark says the recent security breach at Bank of America stadium is alarming.
Β
“Could be a real issue for all of the stadiums across the country, how it’s handle will determine if it becomes a future issue,” says Β Stark.
Β
Four protesters were able to get ropes, gear and a massive banner past security during Monday nights game against the Colts.
Β
Despite that, team officals told WCCB news they are not Β beefing up security for tomorrow’s game against the packers.
Β
“Simply put we are going to work through best practices like we always have Β and we are re-emphasizing training with thoseΒ on the front of the line,” says Panthers Stadium Operations Director, Scott Paul. Β
Β
“They broke security because they figured out what security was, they found a chink in the armour of security and additional security guards are needed,” Says Stark.
Β
Stark says they need to tighten up and get more security focused on “one on one” checks. Β And he’s concerned something similar could happen at other stadiums.
Β
“It’s a tragedy and if it isn’t handled in a quick fashion in a strict fashion, your going to see copy cat people all across the country. Β Because they’re Β lots of losers out there who want to get their face on TV,” says Stark.
