Wyoming Cowboys Bag Policy
Planning to attend an NCAA basketball game at the Arena-Auditorium? Understanding the venue's bag policy before you arrive will help ensure a smooth entry experience. Wyoming Athletics enforces this comprehensive bag policy at all ticketed home events, including Football, Men's & Women's Basketball, Volleyball, and Wrestling. Located in Laramie, Wyoming, this iconic venue, affectionately called the “Dome of Doom”, serves as the home court for University of Wyoming Cowboys basketball and creates an electric atmosphere for fans.
Arena-Auditorium: Clear Bag Policy In Effect
The Arena-Auditorium has implemented a clear bag policy to enhance safety and expedite entry for all guests. Each ticket holder, including children, may bring one clear plastic bag into the venue. Acceptable clear bags must not exceed dimensions of 12″ x 6″ x 12″. Alternatively, fans may carry a standard one-gallon clear plastic freezer bag, which is readily available at most stores.
It's important to note that the venue does not offer bag check or storage services at entry points. If you arrive with a prohibited bag, you'll need to return it to your vehicle or dispose of it at the entrance before gaining entry. To avoid delays and inconvenience, plan ahead and pack only essential items in an approved clear bag. This policy applies universally to all Wyoming Athletics venues, so keeping a compliant bag on hand for game days is a smart strategy.
Arena-Auditorium Purse Policy
Understanding that fans need to carry personal essentials, the Arena-Auditorium does permit small clutch bags in addition to the clear bag option. These clutch purses, with or without a handle or strap, must not exceed 5″ x 7″, roughly the size of your hand. You may bring this small clutch along with one of the approved clear plastic bags mentioned above. This accommodation balances security requirements with the practical needs of guests who need to carry wallets, phones, keys, and other small personal items.
Allowed and Prohibited Items at Arena-Auditorium
Beyond bags, there are additional guidelines for what you can bring into the venue. Extra layers of clothing are permitted as long as they're carried loosely over your arm or stored in an approved clear bag, particularly useful during Wyoming's colder months. Blankets may be brought into the arena if carried over your shoulder upon entry, helping you stay comfortable during the game.
Medical necessities receive special consideration under this policy. Guests requiring medically necessary items or bags should be prepared for a proper inspection at entry. Security staff will work with you to accommodate legitimate medical needs while maintaining safety protocols. However, be aware that re-entry to any Wyoming Athletics venue is strictly prohibited once you leave, so plan accordingly before exiting.
By familiarizing yourself with and following the Arena-Auditorium bag policy, you help create a safer, more efficient, and enjoyable game day experience for everyone. Whether you're cheering on the Cowboys at a basketball game or supporting any other Wyoming Athletics team, arriving prepared means more time enjoying the action and less time at the gate. Go Pokes!
