Severe Weather Procedure

Duke University Police, Emergency Management, and Game Management will monitor the weather 24 hours a day leading up to and through game day.  If a storm producing severe weather will come within fifteen (15) miles of Wallace Wade Stadium, the PA Announcer will make an announcement to notify fans of the presence of severe weather including lightning and will notify fans they may leave and re-enter the stadium later if they wish to seek shelter.  A mandatory evacuation of Wallace Wade Stadium will occur if a storm producing severe weather including lightning will come within a six (6) miles radius of Wallace Wade Stadium.  In the event that the stadium needs to be evacuated, the PA Announcer will direct all spectators to evacuate the stadium and seek shelter immediately.  In most scenarios, guests will be directed to their vehicles for shelter.  If it is unsafe for guests to return to their vehicles the PA Announcer will designate the nearest safe shelter locations.  Stadium event staff and ushers will be available to assist Persons with Disabilities in seeking shelter once an evacuation is activated.   

The stadium will remain closed until severe weather including lightning is clear of a six (6) mile radius of Wallace Wade Stadium.  Resumption of play will only occur once an all clear has been given and conditions are deemed safe after consultation between the Game Officials, Duke Emergency Management, Duke Police, Duke Game Management, and the Atlantic Coast Conference.  If resumption of play does occur, all guests with a valid ticket stub for the game will be permitted re-entry.  A hand stamp is not required for re-entry after evacuation.

Smoking is not permitted in the seating bowl. Smoking is permitted on the concourse. Please be respectful of our non-smoking guests if smoking on the concourse above the seating bowl.
