After a spate of shootings at high school basketball games (such as the Dunbar High drive-by shooting), Chicago Public School officials have now imposed severe limitations on who can attend games. It's part of an effort to cut down on fights and violence. Among the limitations: All boys varsity basketball will start at 4 p.m.; No fans from visiting schools without permission; no fans from visiting school if there has been a history of violence between the schools.
