NFL Plans To Increase Security Inside And Outside Stadiums

NEW YORK (AP) -- The NFL says it will increase security inside and outside its stadiums for Sunday's games, including at M & T Bank Stadium, two days after the Paris terrorist attacks.

Spokesman Brian McCarthy said Saturday that there will be more security and law enforcement personnel at the venues and in parking lots, along with other added security measures.

A league statement says it has been told by the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI "that there are no known threats against NFL stadiums."

The league says it has been in contact with home teams to reinforce its standard procedures, which include the use of metal detectors and a requirement that all bags brought into stadiums be clear.

"In addition to our standard procedures described above, there will be an increased security and law enforcement presence both inside and outside stadiums in the parking lots of our stadiums this weekend," the league said in a statement. "We strongly recommend that fans do not bring bags with them to the stadium. If it is essential to bring a bag, it must be in compliance with the clear bag policy which requires that it be made of clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and not exceed 12" x 6" x 12."

The Baltimore Ravens will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars at 1:00 p.m. in Baltimore.
