The NFL wants all fans patted down from the ankles up this season to improve fan safety.

Under the new “enhanced” pat-down procedures, the NFL wants all 32 clubs to search fans from the ankles to the knees as well as the waist up. Previously, security guards only patted down fans from the waist up while looking for booze, weapons or other banned items.

The stricter physical screening policy impacts the 16.6 million fans expected to attend live regular season NFL games this season.

The NFL recommended the new guidelines before Week 1 of the season, says spokesman Brian McCarthy. The league hopes fans will be “patient” — and arrive earlier to games to avoid long, punishing lines.

“The enhanced security procedures recommended by our office before the start of the season will further increase the safety of fans but will require some additional time,” McCarthy told USA TODAY in a statement Thursday. “We encourage fans to come early, enjoy their tailgating tradition, and be patient as they enter the stadium.”

  1. It is apparent the fans are finding more creative ways to bring in food and drink. I mean they want you to pay six times plus more for something you can get outside of the stadium. They will call it security and for your safety. You talk about sick and discusting greed. Like the NFL executives are not rich enough. I have not been to an NFL stadium for a long time. Who would want to go if you are being patted down? I will not even take a flight if TSA patted me down. I fly 16 plus times a year. Lucky they do not mess with me. I would be driving.
