Lines stretch long as Orioles' new security system goes into effect

"Keys, cameras, cellphones out of your pockets."

The cries of Orioles attendants rang out over blaring beats near Camden Yards' Eutaw Street gate in the hours leading up to the team's first home game of 2015. And baseball fans were listening.

The Orioles implemented a new security system for their 2015 season in line with new MLB rules. Fans must pass through metal detectors or be scanned with a handheld wand prior to entering Camden Yards, and bags larger than 16-by-16-by-8 inches are not permitted in the stadium.

Just after the first pitch was thrown, lines stretched long in front of the gates and attendees said wait times felt longer than in previous years.
