Security upped for Sports Weekend By Natasha Marar News Editor March 12, 2008 Downtown bar, The Roxy, is doubling its security measures for the four-day annual Windsor Sports Weekend event beginning Thursday.
Windsor Sports Weekend, occurring annually for 26 years, is expected to draw approximately 1,500 university students from across Ontario. The Roxy expects to see 700 patrons at both the Friday and Saturday events that will be hosted there.
