Nationwide Arena Security Policy

In response to the need for heightened security procedures, Nationwide Arena has implemented the following policies to ensure a safe, enjoyable event experience for all guests.

All Guests are Subject to Search

All jackets and bags will be searched upon entry. While backpacks are prohibited, purses, diaper bags and other small personal bags are allowed, but will be inspected at all gate entrances.

Prohibited Items

Guests may not bring the following items into Nationwide Arena:

In the event that items are revealed during a search, the guest will be permitted to return to their vehicle with the item or the item will be confiscated. Nationwide Arena will not safeguard any personal belongings or items of any type. Nationwide Arena management has the sole right to determine the type of pre-event screening.

Nationwide Arena management reserves the right to make the final determination on prohibited items. In the event that prohibited items are revealed in a search, items will be confiscated or guests may return them to their cars before re-entering the building.

Due to the fact that these security measures may cause slight delays, fans are encouraged to arrive early to allow adequate time to enter the building.

Thank you for your cooperation.
