If you're going to the Seahawks game tonight, you'll face a couple of things that may slow you down. In addition to traffic tie-ups all over the area, you will be subject to a search with a handheld metal detector.

The new rule is in accordance with the National Football League.

You will be asked to remove all metal objects from your pockets and hold them visibly in your hands. Metal objects include, but are not limited to, the following: coins, keys and cell phones.

If you have any concerns about the use of a metal detector due to medical reasons, the enhanced pat-down screening procedure can be substituted.

You are encouraged to give themselves enough time to pass through security.

CenturyLink Field gates open two hours before kickoff and the 30 minute period leading up to kickoff is the busiest time at the security screening points.
