St. Joseph Civic Arena in downtown St. Joseph recently announced the implementation of a new clear bag policy that will be in effect for all events held at the venue.
The new clear bag policy will begin 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 6th. 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.
