ANNAPOLIS, Md.-As Navy football fans gear up for Saturday's game against Northwestern, the Naval Academy would like to remind fans of security precautions that have been in place at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on America.

Stadium parking lots will open at 6:30 a.m. with directed parking beginning at 8:30 a.m. Stadium gates will open at 10 a.m. and fans are encouraged to enter the stadium early and not wait until just before kickoff.

Fans will be allowed to bring in diaper bags, fanny packs, small purses, seat cushions and blankets, though all items brought into the stadium will be searched. There will also be a limited reentry policy for those leaving the game.

Vehicles with handicapped stickers should enter the stadium parking lot via Gate 2 off Farragut Road and follow the signs to handicapped parking. All stadium gates are handicapped accessible.

Tickets are still available for Saturday's game and can be purchased at the Naval Academy Box Office in Ricketts Hall or by calling 1-800-US4-NAVY.
