Metal detectors at Camben Yards

cms1528 · Mar 25, 2015

Saw a report on the news, metal detectors at Camden Yards coming this season. No surprise, just like the NFL. So if you conceal carry to the yard you won't be doing that anymore. I'm sure they will send you packing and tell you to leave the weapon in your car and then you'll be allowed in the stadium.

They did not report on any firearm policy specifically but they will soon no doubt.

Why is there a need?

To condition everyone who attends, probably on top of taking 3x as long to get in.

No thanks. I'll watch or listen from home for free.

Can confirm. My father in law will be a new usher at OPACY this year and mentioned that all will be screened with metal detectors at the gates.

Did you say Ambien Yards? I know the games drag on sometimes...

I think it is a MLB decision that all stadiums will have metal detectors. I heard on the radio that metal detectors will be setup and if detects something then you will be directed to be searched with a wand. It is sad that it has gotten to this point. I want the old days back!

Unlike football, I believe this will hurt attendance. The more laid back nature of a baseball game is part of the appeal of going. You show up, walk in, sit down and watch some ball. I can zip down to a 7pm game after work with little planning. When people start missing the first inning because they had to wait 45 min in line to get in, they'll stop coming.

Wouldn't you in fact, already be packing?

If they were serious about "safety", something would have been done in the 1970's after this movie came out (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-Minute_Warning). Now who knows why?

That finishes off any chance of me attending a game at OPCY. The lines alone will make it a hellish procedure just getting through the gate.

They started doing this towards the end of last year at certain gates. I picked the wrong gate and had to suffer through a "wanding". I made sure to make it as awkward as possible by making comments like "thank you sir may i have another".

I would prefer that they dont do this but I dont think its a huge deal. For football games everyone is worried about seeming the whole game so there is a huge rush for the 30-45 min leading up until kickoff, baseball is different, its more a steady flow from an hour before until a few innings in. I dont really see the need but it wont detract me from going to games.

Pretty sure OPACY already prohibits weapons inside the stadium. I was turned away last year because of a pocket knife.

See section S, http://baltimore.orioles.mlb.com/bal/ballpark/information/index.jsp?content=guide

"Weapons of any kind are not permitted in the park."

How did they turn you away?

I went to several games last year and had a knife on me every time.

Guy at the gate saw the pocket clip. Bag check lady saw one in my wife's purse also and turned us away. Luckily we park in lot B so it was easy to put them in the car.

Yet another solution without a problem.
