SATURDAY: Panthers & Hornets to Play in Each of Their Conferences in Football Championships

Since security was an issue at the Salt Bowl at the beginning of the 2018 football season, there has been a special effort to ensure the safety of athletes and other participants and attendees for these games.

State Senator-Elect Kim Hammer made a statement via social media regarding this (post embedded below).
You should (1) observe the bag policy in the illustration below, (2) arrive early for security checks, and don’t loiter on the concourse since there will be a zero-tolerance policy. (Click image to enlarge)
