The SEC had a 2020 deadline for getting them in. Auburn beat it by a year.
Walk-through metal detectors are currently being readied for deployment outside each and every gate at Jordan-Hare.
Here’s another photo taken a few days ago of some of the machines outside the east side suites entrance.
From AuburnTigers.com:
When fans arrive at the gates of Jordan-Hare Stadium, they will be asked to follow the instructions of the security screening staff and place large metal objects such as phones, keys, cameras, and approved seat cushions in containers or in their clear bag on screening tables before passing through the walk-through metal detectors. Fans will not be required to remove belts, watches, wallets, jewelry, shoes, jackets, coins or other small objects.
Fans are encouraged to arrive at Jordan-Hare Stadium gates approximately 30 minutes earlier than normal to ensure a smooth entry.
The SEC clear bag policy will continue to be in effect at Jordan-Hare Stadium. To expedite the screening process, fans are urged to use their approved clear bag to carry permitted items into the stadium rather than placing them in the screening table containers.
Best leave those pocket knives at home this season.

What happens to fans that have metal implants like pacemakers/ICD? Some of these devices that people have doesn’t permit them to go through a metal detector. I know I told when I first got my ICD I was told not to go through a metal detector because it impact the device.
People also has metal implants in knees, hip, shoulder, etc.
Where is the answer to the question about pacemakers ?

Not sure of any specifics, but I’m sure there are procedures in place to accommodate folks with pacemakers. If not, my grandfather will be writing some letters.
There is a medical entrance that we have used for the last 5+ years because my husband has Type 1 diabetes with an insulin pump and takes his glucose monitoring kit everywhere. It was easier to avoid questions about it in the regular lines. Anyone with pacemakers or metal implants should go to that line now that metal detectors are in use.
