Security Guidelines For Basketball Games
1. Everyone will be required to go through metal detectors.
2. Clear bags will be permitted (see policy below).
3. No tobacco products, please.
Clear Bag Policy:
The Sto-Rox School District has implemented this safety policy, making the security process more efficient and effective. We’re committed to ensuring your experience is second to none, and the safety of all our students, staff and fans is essential to maintaining this experience. Because of our commitment to your safety, we are implementing a new policy on bags brought into the events.
The policy affects the type and size of bags that are permitted into the stadium — not the items that you normally need to bring to a game. Each fan may carry in their pocket’s items such as keys, makeup, combs, phones, wallets, and credit cards. Fans will continue to be able to carry in blankets and jackets.
Bags that are clear plastic are permitted. Small clutch purses, approximately the size of a hand, or 4.5″ x 6.5″ with or without a handle or strap, may be carried into the stadium along with one of the clear bag options. An exception will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection at the gate. Diapers and wipes can be carried in a clear bag, however, diaper bags are not permitted. Each member of a family, including children, will be able to carry an approved clear bag and a clutch purse.
