Youngstown State University students planning to attend the Goo Goo Dolls concert on Tuesday night need to keep in mind concert safety while enjoying the show.

Less than three weeks ago, a 19-year-old man ran through a 1-inch thick glass window at the University of Pittsburgh's Petersen Events Center during a concert and fell four stories to the ground. He was pronounced dead at UPMC Presbyterian from massive head trauma.

Incidents like this make it necessary to remind students of appropriate behavior when attending an event such as the Goo Goo Dolls concert.

"[Covelli Centre security and staff] do not sense an immediate threat of danger for this concert despite the recent events on campus, but will continue to exercise the utmost caution and security measures, as would be the case for any concert or event," said Kelsey Rupert, marketing manager for the Covelli Centre.

The Covelli Centre has a set of building security policies and will take the necessary steps to ensure the safety of all those who attend the concert on Tuesday night.

Concertgoers may not bring alcohol to the concert. All cans, bottles or flasks will be confiscated. Alcohol will be served at the concert, but Rupert said patrons must provide proper identification.

Concertgoers are also expected to abide by the conduct regulations of the Covelli Centre. The use of illegal substances and public drunkenness will not be tolerated and are grounds for eviction from the event. Also included on the guest conduct list are participation in a fight, attempts to enter areas that are deemed "off limits" and failure to follow the smoking policy.

Some items not permitted in the Covelli Centre are weapons of any kind, large bags or concealed containers, video recording equipment, and outside food or drink.

The Goo Goo Dolls will be playing all of their hits as well as songs from their 2010 album, "Something for the Rest of Us."

The Goo Goo Dolls are an alternative rock band formed in 1986 out of Buffalo, N.Y. In the band's early days, vocalist and guitarist John Rzeznik and bassist George Tutuska recorded original material along with a variety of covers by artists like The Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Phil Collins and Prince. They have been labeled as punk rock, college rock and, eventually, alternative rock.

Albums such as 1995's "A Boy Named Goo" and "Dizzy Up the Girl," a 1998 release, launched the Goo Goo Dolls up the charts, producing hit singles such as "Name," "Iris," "Black Balloon" and "Slide."

After "Dizzy Up the Girl," the band did not put out another album for four years until "Gutterflower" was released in 2002.

Rzeznik told Star News Online that the latest album, released in August, "seems to be addressing the kind of the angst and uncertainty of the times that we're living in, but on an emotional level."

The concert is presented by Penguin Productions at Youngstown State University in conjunction with the Covelli Centre. Student tickets are available for $10 with presentation of a valid YSU ID.
