Two major greater Hartford event venues are in the process of increasing security measures

EAST HARTFORD —  Rentscheler Field at Pratt & Whitney Stadium in East Hartford had new metal detector security check points installed throughout the day Friday.  The plan is to have them up and running by Saturday’s home game kicking off at noon. For the first four home games of the seasons, fans were checked over using handheld, wand style metal detectors. That system was in place while the stadium’s managers were waiting for the walk through units to be shipped.
