Nationwide Arena Purse Policy

Nationwide Arena allows guests to carry small clutches or purses, provided they do not exceed the dimensions of 8″ x 5″ x 1″. To ensure the safety and well-being of all attendees, these clutches undergo a thorough x-ray examination through a designated screening line. This procedure is in place to maintain a secure environment while facilitating an efficient entry experience for guests.

Diaper Bags

Fans who have specific medical requirements are permitted to bring medical bags into Nationwide Arena. However, for the safety and security of all attendees, these bags will undergo a thorough inspection and x-ray examination at a specially designated screening line. This protocol ensures both the convenience for guests with medical needs and the overall security of the venue.
