Eden Prairie Schools revealed new security policies at Aerie Stadium on Monday after a shooting earlier this month outside a homecoming football game. In a message, Superintendent Josh Swanson said district leaders have met in recent days to address safety concerns raised by families and community members. During a game between Eden Prairie and Minnetonka on Oct. 2, police said a large fight broke out before the shooting in a parking lot outside the stadium. Two people, ages 17 and 18, were injured, and neither attended Eden Prairie or Minnetonka.
