The purpose of this assignment is to determine the types of safety or security measures that must be considered for large events and to evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of hiring independent security management contractors for the event. For this assignment, select an existing sports event that is big enough to receive media coverage. Evaluate the facility and the event for potential safety and security issues and explore possible situations that could occur during the event. In 500-750 words, suggest two "what if" scenarios that would impact the safety or security of participants or spectators and address the following:

1. What are the consequences of each "what if" situation and who is affected?

2. Describe how each of the suggested "what if" challenges could be overcome.

3. From a legal perspective, describe the pros and cons of hiring an independent contractor to manage security at the event. You are required to reference at least two academic resources for this assignment.
