As the University prepares for the upcoming implementation of concealed carry on campus, only some of its buildings athletics facilities will be able to keep guns out due to practicality and budget constraints.
Starting this fall, the University will implement armed guards and metal detectors at entrances to Allen
Fiednouse, Memorial Stadium and Rock Chalk Park during events with more than 5,000 spectators. Additionally, spectators will no longer be allowed to bring bags or purses into athletic venues and instead must use clear plastic bags.
These new policies are a reaction to the concealed carry law that will allow guns in campus buildings starting July 1. However, the law states that guns can be restricted from buildings if the buildings have adequate security measures (ASMs), such as armed guards and metal detectors.
In theory, every building on campus could restrict guns if ASMs were put in place. In 2015,the University investigated securing the more than 200 buildings on campus,but the investigation revealed that doing so would cost upwards of $20 million and congest the flow of student foot traffic.
