Good news! 🎉🎉🎉It has been confirmed that the new policy will NOT apply to the Women of Excellence Awards Luncheon & Fundraiser on June 18th—HOORAY!
Go ahead and purse up, ladies! 👜💃🛍️
To help enhance guest safety and improve entry efficiency during high-attendance events, the St. Joseph Civic Arena will implement a clear bag policy for some events beginning in June.
Not all events at Civic Arena will require the clear bag policy. Events utilizing entrance security, large attendance or high-profile entertainment will implement the policy to streamline entry procedures.
The clear bag policy will be required for major events at Civic Arena, including but not limited to:
-St. Joseph Goats games
-Major sporting events
-Concerts
-School graduations
-Harlem Globetrotters performances
All events requiring the clear bag policy will be advertised in advance and posted at the arena.
Approved bags must be clear and may not exceed 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches, which is the standard clear bag size requirement used at most venues.
The first event requiring the clear bag policy will be the St. Joseph Goats game on Saturday, June 6.
Guests with questions regarding whether a specific event requires the clear bag policy are encouraged to contact Civic Arena through social media or by calling 816-271-4717.
