Beaver Stadium has been deemed clear for today’s game against Minnesota after receiving an apparent threat earlier this morning.
It’s unknown what the specifics of the threat were, but police extensively searched the area and reported no findings.
“Out of an abundance of caution we are notifying fans and the public of the threat that was received, so that they can make their own choices about personal safety and their attendance at today’s game,” said David Gray, senior vice president for Finance and Business. “Our first obligation is to the safety of the public and, while police and safety officials have given an all-clear for today’s game, we wanted to ensure that visitors were aware of this decision.”
This is the first time a threat of any kind has been made against Beaver Stadium this year. Today’s game will kickoff at 3:30 p.m.
