November 14th, 2015

Because of recent events in Paris, thanks to a bunch of animals, the NFL, the Bucs and local authorities will be on heightened security for Sunday’s Cowboys-Bucs game, which will include parking areas.

Why? Friday at a soccer game in Paris, security officials stopped a suicide bomber who attempted to enter the stadium, reports the Wall Street Journal.

Fans attending the Cowboys-Bucs game may want to budget additional time to avoid expected longer waits and lines. Below is the full statement issued Saturday by the NFL:

The safety of our fans, stadium personnel, and teams at all NFL games is our priority, and security at our games is robust. Our procedures have been certified and designated by the Department of Homeland Security since 2008 as effective anti-terrorism technology. All NFL clubs use mandatory metal detector screening and multiple layers of perimeter security external to the stadium to safeguard fans and the stadium from explosive threats.

Following the events in Paris on Friday, we are closely monitoring events and have been in communication with the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, which have informed us that there are no known threats against NFL stadiums.

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. We have been in contact with clubs hosting games to reinforce our standard procedures and the league’s best practices.

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.” It is important that all fans comply with these requirements, and we appreciate their efforts to cooperate with these security measures.

The NFL and team security departments work closely with stadium operation personnel and federal, state, and local law enforcement to provide a safe experience for the more than 17 million fans who annually attend NFL games. The NFL and its teams continually evaluate and improve our comprehensive security plan.

    When exactly are we ever going to Hiroshima these bastards? It would send a very strong message I think. Our government has turned into a bunch of pansies. Just like France.

Nice 38% foreign policy approval rating. This community organizing never did anything else in his life moron can’t be gone soon enough!

    If you don’t like Obama’s foreign policy, you might want to check W’s foreign policy. Invading Iraq started us on this road. Dictators have a role whether we like it or not and that is to keep the true crazies in check.

    87 is correct!

    I remember Reagan telling Iran the hostages they had better not be in captivity when he takes the oath of office. They were released before he took the oath. So what our President says and does is very important to our allies and our enemies. Enough soap boxing….go Bucs, beat them Cowboys!
