Following a terrorist attack in New Orleans last week, officials in Baltimore will beef up security for the Ravens’ home playoff game Saturday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

There are always law enforcement officers on hand and streets blocked off ahead of any Ravens game, which often brings more than 70,000 people to the area around M&T Bank Stadium, but extra measures were taken for last Saturday’s home game against the Cleveland Browns. The regular-season finale came just three days after a man drove through crowds of revelers in New Orleans’ French Quarter during the early hours of Jan. 1, killing 15 people.

This weekend, M&T Bank Stadium will again see a larger police presence than is typical.

“We are constantly monitoring national and international events and use each of these horrific incidents as an opportunity to reassess our own security plans with our public safety partners,” Maryland Stadium Authority Vice President for Public Safety and Security Vern Conaway Jr. said during an authority board meeting Tuesday. “As was the case with our game this past Saturday, fans attending the game on this upcoming Saturday will notice an increase in police presence and other security measure around the stadium.”

Conaway also told board members that he wanted to avoid discussing the specifics of security measures “so as not to undermine the effectiveness of our efforts.”

Typically, law enforcement agencies block vehicle traffic from portions of Hamburg Street, which is north of the stadium, and Ostend Street, to the stadium’s south, on game days to provide safe access for pedestrians. Oftentimes, dump trucks and police cars are used as barriers.

The Baltimore Police Department said in a statement that alongside local, state and federal partners, it is “constantly evaluating emerging threats and working to ensure security, particularly around large events like this weekend’s Ravens game.”

“In coordination with the Mayor’s Office, we are approaching these matters with the utmost priority and will continue to do so in the wake of incidents around the country,” Lindsey Eldridge, a police department spokesperson, said in an emailed statement. “BPD continues to utilize large city vehicles and deploys additional public safety measures to include: hard barriers, interior and exterior safety mitigation, host unified command with allied law enforcement agencies for large-scale events and a multitude of cameras and other technology.”

The Ravens, the AFC’s No. 3 seed, will host the No. 6 seed Steelers at 8 p.m. on Saturday during the wild-card round. The game will be broadcast on Prime Video, though local fans will also be able to watch on WMAR-TV (Channel 2).

Officials have recently sought to crack down on drones flying over M&T Bank Stadium, which caused multiple game stoppages last year, including in the playoffs. For safety reasons, it is illegal to fly a drone over an outdoor sporting event played at a venue with a capacity of at least 30,000.

Conaway said at a November stadium authority board meeting that there were a string of drone sightings this season. After the Ravens hosted “Thursday Night Football” that month without a drone problem, Conaway told the board: “We were anticipating at least one or multiple drones on Thursday. They did not occur, so we’re thankful for that.”
