WHY DID SOUTHWEST UNIVERSITY PARK ADOPT THIS POLICY?
Fan experience and the safety of our guests are a priority. This policy enables staff and security to enhance public safety and make Southwest University Park access more efficient and secure by limiting the size and style of bags.

HOW DOES THIS IMPROVE PUBLIC SAFETY?
The clear bag can be easily searched, reduces faulty bag searches, and reduces the risk AND transmission of infectious diseases such as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

HOW IS THIS POLICY MORE CONVENIENT FOR FANS?
The clear bags will enable security to move fans through checkpoints much faster than in the past. A standard size bag eliminates the need for templates to check bag sizes. Clear bags allow staff to be more efficient and effective in keeping you safe by preventing dangerous items from entering the venue.

HOW MANY BAGS CAN EACH PERSON BRING INTO THE VENUE?
Each ticketed attendee may bring in one (1) large clear bag – either a one-gallon Ziploc style bag or a clear bag that does not exceed 12” x 6” x 12”. A small clutch purse (the size of the palm of your hand) that does need exceed 6.5” x 4.5”. The small clutch allows privacy for small personal items and can be easily searched.

WHAT IF I HAVE CERTAIN ITEMS THAT I NEED TO BRING INTO THE VENUE DUE TO MEDICAL REASONS?
Guests needing to carry a bag for required medical supplies or devices are permitted. However, all bags are subject to inspection by Southwest University Park security. Following inspection, this bag will be tagged by security.

For questions regarding medical equipment and other needs, email guestservices@epchihuahuas.com.

WHAT ABOUT DIAPER BAGS?
Diaper bags are not permissible. Each patron, including children, is allowed to carry an approved clear bag and a clutch purse into Southwest University Park.

ARE ALL PURSES PROHIBITED?
No. Small clutch purses, with or without a handle/strap, no larger than 6.5” x 4.5” are permitted. Purses larger than this are not permitted.

DO I HAVE TO PUT EVERYTHING I AM CARRYING INTO THE PERMISSIBLE BAG?
No. Limitations have been placed on the type of bags carried into Southwest University Park, not the items that are permissible. Guest can continue to carry items such as keys, phones, wallets, credit cards, cameras, binoculars, etc., in their hands or pockets if they choose not to place them in a clear bag (12’ x’6” x 12”) or clutch purse (6.5” x 4.5”). Guests can carry a blanket over their shoulders, and binoculars and/or cameras around their necks or in their hands without the case as these items can be easily screened and provided, they are not on the prohibited items list. All items subject to search upon entry to Southwest University Park.

Guests can also carry any personal items that meet the specified criteria in the clear bag or clutch purse. All items must be in adherence to Southwest University Park’s Prohibited Item List.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I ARRIVE AT THE GATE WITH A BAG THAT IS NOT PERMITTED?
