Columbia, SC (WLTX) — Beginning with Chris Stapleton’s All American Road Show on Thursday, October 25, Colonial Life Arena says it is instituting a clear bag policy for all events.
The policy will mimic the University of South Carolina Athletics’ current model and will regulate the size and types of bags that may be brought into the Arena by patrons.
Officials say the policy is intended to enhance patron safety and provide a more expedited entry for events.
While bags are not encouraged, the following outlines the bags that are permitted:
- Clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bags that do not exceed 12" x 6" x 12" -- A logo no larger than 4.5" x 3.4" can be displayed on one side of a permissible clear bag.
- One-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziploc bag or similar)
- Small clutch bags no larger than 4.5" x 6.5" -- approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap
- Medically necessary items (after proper inspection and tagging)
Prohibited bags include, but are not limited to:
- Purses larger than a clutch bag
- Briefcases
- Backpacks
- Fanny packs
- Cinch/Drawstring bags
- Luggage of any kind
- Computer bags
- Diaper bags
