Introduction
To learn how facilities in other cities similar to Cincinnati Riverfront Coliseum prepare for major events and rock concerts, the Task Force sent representatives to consult with facility operators at Madison Square Garden Center, New York, New York; The Spectrum, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Starplex, Washington, D.C.; The Coliseum, Richfield, Ohio; and Lexington Center, Lexington, Kentucky. A representative also met with the commander of the Los Angeles Police Department's special rock concert detail to discuss crowd management and law enforcement at outdoor rock concerts. The facilities listed above are among those that have thorough crowd management planning and implementation procedures. Facility manuals, describing staff authority and responsibility, emergency plans, pre-recorded safety messages, etc. are evidence of their thoroughness. They treat their patrons with respect, respond to requests and complaints positively, and publicize and enforce house rules. By maintaining good organization and respect, they have discouraged the attitude of "anything goes" among their patrons.
The most effective crowd management clearly delineates areas of responsibility and authority and especially underscores the need for cooperation and communication between public and private parties. When those elements are absent problems can arise at an event. For instance, at the August 4, 1976 Elton John concert in Cincinnati the total on-duty personnel in District One (downtown and the West End) was called to respond to crowd disorders at the Coliseum. At the Led Zeppelin concerts on April 19 and 20, 1977, the City incurred $12,000 in expenses for police protection and waste collections and for property damage. Then on December 3, 1979 at The Who concert, City police and fire personnel from throughout the City responded to the emergency situation that resulted in eleven deaths and an approximately equal number of injuries.
The discussions with these selected facility operators, police and other authorities in the field of crowd management have enabled the Task Force to assemble a list of crowd management techniques which have proven successful for a variety of events and audiences. The techniques listed here are the product of common sense, careful observations, and experience. Not all of the techniques can be used by all facilities in Cincinnati or are applicable at all sites where events take place, but they can serve as models for facility operators, law enforcement officers and promoters.
The public, too, should be interested in these techniques which enable them more clearly to visualize their own role in crowd management and to understand the actions of others responsible for providing them with a safe environment.
