- Extra staff: strategic focus unit and officers from other jurisdictions
- Tools: surveillance cameras and drones
- Fences: near Angela Boulevard and Eddy Street, to steer foot traffic
Eddy Street is counting down to a game that could determine the Fighting Irish's playoff hopes, and businesses there still face the midnight curfew. Downtown businesses like Shamrock's sports bar, Manny's and the Lauber are ready for the crowd. If you'd rather skip the drive, South Bend Transportation's Gameday Express will run between downtown South Bend and the stadium for two hours after the game.
