Clear Bag Policy FAQ

WHY DID MOMENTUM BANK BALLPARK ADOPT THIS POLICY?
Fan experience and the safety of our guests are a priority. This policy enables staff and security to enhance public safety and make Momentum Bank Ballpark access more efficient and secure by limiting the size and style of bags.

HOW DOES THIS IMPROVE PUBLIC SAFETY?
The clear bag can be easily searched, reduces faulty bag searches, and reduces the risk AND transmission of infectious diseases such as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

HOW IS THIS POLICY MORE CONVENIENT FOR FANS?
The clear bags will enable security to move fans through checkpoints much faster than in the past. A standard size bag eliminates the need for templates to check bag sizes. Clear bags allow staff to be more efficient and effective in keeping you safe by preventing dangerous items from entering the venue.

HOW MANY BAGS CAN EACH PERSON BRING INTO THE VENUE?
Each ticketed attendee may bring in one (1) large clear bag – either a one-gallon Ziploc style bag or a clear bag that does not exceed 12” x 6” x 12”. A small clutch purse (the size of the palm of your hand) that does need exceed 6.5” x 4.5”. The small clutch allows privacy for small personal items and can be easily searched.

WHAT IF I HAVE CERTAIN ITEMS THAT I NEED TO BRING INTO THE VENUE DUE TO MEDICAL REASONS?
Guests needing to carry a bag for required medical supplies or devices are permitted. However, all bags are subject to inspection by Momentum Bank Ballpark security. Following inspection, this bag will be tagged by security.
