Syracuse adds clear-bag policy, metal detectors to enhance Carrier Dome security

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Syracuse announced two security enhancements for events held at the Carrier Dome, adding walk-through metal detectors and a clear-bag policy.

In addition to enhancing security, the university says the changes will allow fans to enter the Carrier Dome faster. Syracuse said the measures are consistent with National Football League stadiums and many Atlantic Coast Conference schools.

"We are committed to providing a secure environment for our fans," Syracuse athletic director John Wildhack said in a statement. "The new clear bag policy will enable us to deliver a better and quicker experience at the gates and also provide a safer environment.
