ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys’ & Girls’ Athletic Championships 2008 Launched

The perennial matter of security will be high on the agenda for the annual ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys’ & Girls’ Athletic Championships, with 20 per cent of the J$8.3-million budget for the 2008 event, which will take place from March 12-15 at the National Stadium, geared towards security.

Champs Chairman, Clement Radcliffe, speaking at yesterday’s launch of the island’s biggest track & field meeting at the Knutsford Court Hotel, said no more than 24,000 tickets will be sold for the bleachers section of the National Stadium.

Independence Park Limited general manager, Major Desmond Brown, told the Observer the National Stadium has a seating capacity of 30,000, with 5,404 of those seats in the Grandstand.

Radcliffe also told the Observer that among the security measures will be a re-do of identification cards for all students, with no IDs from previous years being accepted for entry to the facility.
