Prohibited Items

We ask all guests to arrive early and travel light.

For your safety guests are subject to visual inspection (including the use of metal detecting magnetometers) of person, parcels, bags, containers and/or clothing capable of concealing prohibited items. Guests may refuse inspections; however, management reserves the right to refuse entry. The bag policy at Gainbridge Fieldhouse prioritizes everyone's safety and security. Following these rules helps ensure a safe environment for all guests.
