Ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes at a major sporting event? A&E’s new series, “Stadium Lockup,” pulls back the curtain, taking us right into the world of stadium security. The series premiere, “Code of Conduct,” airing this Wednesday, follows the security teams as they deal with the chaos of a packed stadium – and it just so happens to be Tom Brady’s debut in the announcer’s booth, adding an extra level of scrutiny to the proceedings.
With over 67,000 fans crammed into the venue, it’s a powder keg of potential problems. From drunken brawls and heated seat disputes to medical emergencies, the security team – a mix of law enforcement, private security, and medics – has their hands full. One incident involves a fan taking a tumble over a balcony, while another focuses on an unruly spectator who refuses to leave.
“Stadium Lockup” offers access to the stadium’s nerve center, the command center where a team monitors over 500 CCTV cameras, keeping a watchful eye on the crowd. It’s a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, where maintaining order is paramount. Tune in to A&E this Wednesday, March 19 at 9:00 PM ET/PT for a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to keep a stadium safe.
