In addition to a clear plastic bag each guest will be allowed to carry in one (1) small clutch that does not exceed 4.5” x 6.5”. Diaper bags (with a child 3 and under) and bags carrying medically necessary items will be allowed after a visual inspection inside the bag is completed by security.

“By mirroring the clear bag policy in place at many venues today, including Illinois State University and the University of Illinois, we are taking the next step to enhance the security of our guests and ease the flow of entry through our gates,” said arena executive director Lynn Cannon in a statement.
