Yes, I know "concealed means concealed"  as I carry just about everywhere, minus federal buildings type of situations.

But, do they pat you down on your way into wild games ?

thanks

my wife says you have to go through metal detectors.

yeah, Ill be relying on my sweet ninja moves tomorrow night then, and leave the pistol at home.

This is correct.  They are new this year I believe.  

They have been using wands for years. Ninja moves it is.

Metal detectors can be easily be defeated by a Glock 7

Wands were easy to defeat. Airport-style metal detectors, not so much.

I'm heading to the game tomorrow night with my 17-year old daughter.  Looks like no carry for me.

My steel toe boots set off the walk through metal detector like they have at the airport.
Security used the wand on my boots then grabbed my ankles to check for an ankle holster or boot knife then let me through.
They missed the RPG And M60 with two belts of ammo I had in my back left pocket

Why? I had my spring-assist folder with me and just show them my belt buckle...

They are not looking for Ole and Lena packing... they are keeping their eyes open for critters from Crenshaw.

Haven't been to a game in years.  Wasn't sure what to expect, or how well they'd be screening.

From what I saw last night, I think you're largely right.  I saw LOTS of people dressed as Security, and they were busy, but it was also mostly for show.  They paid little attention to what went in the bins -- cell phones, keys, etc.  People who set off the detectors got asked if they had coins in their pockets, and got looked at a little harder, but I didn't see anyone get patted down or asked to remove anything like belts or lift their shirts.  Those things might have happened, but not in the few minutes I was there, going in the southwest entrance at 6pm with hundreds of other people in line behind me.  Seemed like all they wanted to do was find a reasonable explanation for why the detector went off, and if they saw one and didn't get a funny vibe from you, they waved you on.

My guess is Thunderwear or something similar and a good metal belt buckle, along with being well dressed, polite, and friendly, would get you in.  Maybe next time I'll give it a whirl if I don't have my daughter with.  Worst that can happen is they send me back out to stow it, I suppose.

Anyone else gotten in carrying anything concealed like that this year?

Edit: I was wearing steel toes and they didn't set off the detectors

FYI: they let me carry my Swiss Army knife in ... guy took one look and that was all.

Now, again, I don't take my spring assist out unless it is to use it or putting it away at night.


Ole & Lena have not been doing drive-bys at the Wild games. Safest venue (minus the flying pucks!) in town
