Kroenke Sports & Entertainment President Jim Martin says the permanent magnatrometers will improve safety and increase efficiency at the 18,650-capacity arena, which is home to the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche pro sports teams.
During the 2012-13 NBA season, the league required all patrons to go through bag checks and be wanded with hand-held metal detectors.
