The city is putting up “No Parking” notices to alert drivers that their vehicles may be towed.
This is the message University of Kentucky police are telling people in the area in case the Kentucky Wildcats make it to the Final Four Saturday.
In the past, students have rushed to State Street following big wins to celebrate, and some have burned couches and destroyed cars.
The police department will staff additional officers starting Friday night before Kentucky’s Sweet 16 game against Houston. The city has already put notices on homes telling people to bring in any furniture that may be out in the yard. The city may remove the furniture because it could be considered a safety hazard.
