Major venues like this have emergency management plans that they put into place if there was a tornado watch/warning issued. Probably the bigger thing that you should be somewhat thinking about is safe places at your hotel and what to do if you are on a bus and see one. This should be all wrapped into the planning that your mentors/coach/safety captain does relating to risk mitigation and contingency planning -- having plans for when the worst should happen.
The SPC in Norman has some great tornado safety tips if you are interested.
PS I have been a trained spotter since 2009 and I've never once seen one (being from Iowa)
