WATERBURY, CT. (WFSB) - Friday night lights are back in the city of Waterbury.

The football team will play its first Friday night game since last September when the district moved game times to the afternoon or Saturday mornings after a large fight broke out amongst fans.

There are additional security measures in place to prevent the chaos that transpired last year.

Barriers were put up along the stadium gates and in areas that aren’t well lit and where kids shouldn’t be hanging out during the game, like under the bleachers.

There’s also been additional security cameras installed around the field
