DOOR SECURITY AND BAG POLICY INFO:
A new and enhanced security screening system has been installed at SAP Center allowing fans with bags that are 5” x 9” x 2” or smaller to pass through security screening without a bags search (unless the system alerts the attendant that an additional screening is required) expediting entry into the venue and minimizing lines and wait time. The new screening system also allows bags up to 20” x 14” x 11” in size to enter SAP Center. For more information, check out SAP Center’s Bag Policy by clicking HERE or call (408) 999-5757.
