NEW YORK — An NFL spokesman said the league is planning to increase security inside and outside its stadiums for Sunday’s games, two days after a series of terrorist attacks in Paris reportedly included a suicide bomber attempting to enter France’s national soccer stadium.
Spokesman Brian McCarthy said Saturday that there will be more security and law enforcement personnel at the venues and in parking lots, along with other added security measures.
A statement said the league has been told by the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI that “there are no known threats against NFL stadiums.”
McCarthy said league officials have been in contact with home teams to reinforce its standard procedures, which include the use of metal detectors and a requirement that all bags brought into stadiums be clear.
