NFC West Huddle: What's next for the Seahawks, 49ers, Rams, and Cardinals after roster cutdown?
SEATTLE - The Seattle Seahawks announced a new initiative this season that will place undercover police officers in the stands at Lumen Field to enforce the team's fan code of conduct.
What to know:
The officers will be dressed in the jerseys of the opposing team to more easily identify and intervene in unruly behavior.
The team released a statement on Thursday detailing the program, which is a joint effort between law enforcement and Lumen Field event staff. They say the goal is to ensure a safe environment for all attendees.
