Detectors slow fans' entrance

The War Memorial Stadium stands were a little more than half full when the Arkansas-Ole Miss game kicked off Saturday night

But that wasn't because a lot of fans decided to stay home.

Long lines of fans were delayed getting into the game because of metal detectors installed at the stadium.

By early in the second quarter, most of the seats were filled.

Metal detectors were installed at the stadium as a result of a scare at the Salt Bowl in August between Benton and Bryant high schools.

Someone fired a stun gun during the Salt Bowl, resulting in panic among the crowd of about 38,000 and causing people to flee for the exits.
