University of Arkansas says no tent city for Snoop Dog

From Ron's Log

Citing public safety concerns, UA officials are changing regulations on the spontaneous “tent cities” that pop up from time to time before a big event at the state university.

“These procedures have been put in place in order to ensure the safety, security, and well-being of students, the University community, and the public, as well as safeguarding and preserving all University property and facilities,” University officials said in a press release.

No such tents will be allowed before the Snoop Dogg concert (Oct. 24) and registration is required in order to pop up a shelter before the Oct. 23 Ole Miss Game.

Up to 10 folks can be registered to each tent so long as a tent captain gives officials a name and phone number for contact purposes. Officials will take down a tent that is left unoccupied.

Tents for the coming game can go up at 11:30 that Thursday and must be down by 5:30 a.m. on game day.
