I can confirm that the Oakland A's indeed had such a requirement last night. Still not quite the hassle that football is.

So far, we're talking about Detroit and Oakland. Are you sure you're not thinking about the metal detectors at the gates to each city?

Based on the linked article, they are trying it at a few stadiums this season before rolling it out to all 30 stadiums next year.


If anyone goes to a Dodgers game please let be know if they are using them there.

It's not the hassle itself, but rather how pointless that hassle is.

I've never been to an NFL game. I had always intended to at some point but now that's off the table as well.

Out of curiosity, if you feel this strongly about security theater, how to do you still go to Disneyland when you're there?

(I don't care whether you go to a baseball game or not or to Disneyland, just curious about where the lines get drawn.)

Have they added metal detectors and/or pat downs? Last time I was there I just walked straight in (past bag check not having a bag).

I saw they added the metal detectors to Safeco Field in Seattle. You would think they would want them in a place that people were going to. lol.

I assume this is making the local news?

LA Dodgers star Yasiel Puig at centre of kidnapping and gangster drama.

No word about that on our neighborhood website

Actually, this was the first I had heard of it.
