Tailgaters attending Penn State games won’t have to worry about low-flying helicopters any longer. The university announced that it will no longer use a police helicopter for crowd announcements outside Beaver Stadium.

Last weekend, prior to the Ohio State-Penn State game, a low-flying police helicopter sent tents, grills, cornhole boards and everything else flying all over the area.

“In the aftermath of the deployment of game day safety and security measures the decision has been made to discontinue use of a helicopter to make crowd announcements at football games pending an assessment,” Penn State police said in a statement., according to StateCollege.com. “We will continue to confer with state police, and evaluate steps taken, which is our normal practice.”

Penn State police and state police said that they deployed the helicopter after a tailgate of over 100 attendees was becoming unruly and failed to disperse.

State police first deployed troopers on foot and a tactical mounted unit.
“The crowd began to turn unruly and two PSP horses were assaulted and a trooper was injured,” state police said. “Ground units pulled back in an effort to deescalate the situation.”

University police said the use of a helicopter to disperse tailgates is rare, but was deployed “when all other warnings from the mounted police unit and officers on the ground were ignored,” and because of “numerous law violations, including serious threats to officer safety within a disorderly crowd.

Though it caused a major disturbance on Saturday, it sounds like Penn State tailgaters won’t have to worry about that issue any longer.
