DENVER — A new walk-thru metal detector security system is being installed at Sports Authority Field at Mile High to improve the safety and convenience for fans attending all major stadium events. The new system will be utilized beginning with the Denver Broncos’ preseason home opener against the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday, Aug. 29 (7 p.m. MDT kickoff).
In response to fan requests to improve the screening process to enter the stadium, a total of 93 walk-thru metal detectors will be in place at all gates of Sports Authority Field at Mile High, replacing the hand wand and pat down systems that have been in place the last four years.
