REMINDER & UPDATE: Please remember the limited entry plan for this week’s home football game against Southfield A&T. This decision was made by mutual agreement and collaboration with the Southfield Public Schools. Limiting entry and starting the game early was determined to be a proactive approach to safety and security at this time. Unfortunately, our decision is not unique given the recent safety and security incidents across the tri-county region. We expect our next home football game will proceed normally with our standard entry requirements and increased safety and security measures.
