A DTN Case Study
Lone Star College, representing the Lone Star College Athletic Conference of 11 Division II universities across Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico, faced the challenge of making timely, location-specific go/no-go decisions for outdoor sporting events amid severe weather risks like lightning and extreme heat. To address this, the conference turned to DTN and its WeatherSentry Online® professional package for a reliable, stadium- and GPS-based risk-management solution.
DTN deployed WeatherSentry Online across all 11 universities, providing configurable, GPS-driven lightning detection and mobile alerts plus 24/7 access to DTN meteorologists. The result: consistent, location-specific warnings and rapid expert support that let athletic directors and trainers clear venues or delay/cancel events with advance notice—earning positive feedback and full adoption across the conference.
