What are the general rules of Bon Secours Wellness Arena ?
Beginning on October 4, 2021, the Bon Secours Wellness Arena began implementing a new clear bag policy. Complimentary clear bags will be available to guests attending events, and advance communications will be shared with guests attending BSWA events. Each ticketed guest will be permitted to carry one large clear bag, either a Ziploc style bag or a 12x6x12 (or smaller) clear bag, plus a small wallet or clutch that must not exceed 5.5x8.5. The small wallet or clutch must be carried into the venue outside the clear bag and is subject to search. The safety and security of our guests is of utmost importance at our events, says Beth Paul, General Manager of the Bon Secours Wellness Arena. Many of our patrons may already be familiar with this process, as it is used by many arenas + college and NFL stadiums. Clear bags provide another layer of security with less inconvenience to our guests as they are easier and faster to search. It also supports the Department of Homeland Security’s See Something, Say Something campaign. Approved bags include: ? Bags that are clear, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12x6x12 ? One-gallon clear plastic freezer bags (Ziploc bag or similar) ? Small clutch bags, with or without a handle or strap, that do not exceed 5.5x8.5 An exception will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection upon entry. Prohibited bags include, but are not limited to: ? Purses larger than a clutch bag ? Briefcases ? Backpacks ? Cinch bags ? Fanny packs that are not clear and exceed size restriction Diapers and other baby supplies can be carried in a clear bag. Each member of a family, including children, is allowed to carry an approved clear bag and a clutch purse into the arena. Complimentary clear bags will be available to guests attending events as we transition through this new policy.
