"The clear bag policy is an additional security measure that complements our standards for safety and security at PNC Arena," said Waddell. "The new guidelines support a safer environment and allows us to enhance the efficiency of entry for guests."
The new policy will apply to guests attending Carolina Hurricanes and NC State men's basketball games as well as concerts, family shows, conventions and other special events held at PNC Arena. Guests are encouraged to bring only essential items and will be permitted to carry
one of the following approved bags
:
An exception will be made for medically necessary items and diaper bags, after a thorough inspection by a security representative. Diaper bags must be accompanied by the child.
Guests will be asked to return unapproved bags and
other prohibited items
to their vehicles or transfer belongings to an
approved clear bag
prior to entry. Approved items may be carried in their pockets, including keys, phones, wallets, etc.
The policy is subject to change at the discretion of PNC Arena management or in accordance with touring events. Other security measures will remain in place, including walk-through metal detectors as well as canine teams provided by K2 Solutions Inc.
