Attention: You can't take your purse into Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, SC.

[raccoon]

Or any bag similar to a purse.

You have to put your stuff into a clear plastic bag. Which they hand out to you before you go in. You can put your wallet, phone, etc. in the bag.

I was there last night for a hockey game. Luckily I was with a group in a van, so as soon as we got out of the van, we were told about this.

But in some places, such as Charlotte's Spectrum Arena, where you park and then ride the Lynx to the Arena, this could be a real PITA if you didn't know about it ahead of time.

DU'ers, this could happen to you! Please post if you know of some arena or event venue where this policy is in place.

Is this the case in Colonial Life Arena? Township Auditorium? Charleston Venues?

1. Yes... that's becoming the "norm" at most stadiums. I bought a mini clear transparent backpack

a few years ago for that purpose.

Did you notice what they were refusing to allow in?--e.g., water bottles, food of any kind?

2. Heard about Water--I had some with me. Not about food.

I guess they want you to spend your hard-earned cash inside.

4. they wouldn't let you take the water in with you?

[raccoon]

9. No. nt

3. well i would just take my shit in a clear plastic bag in the first place...

..at least then they wont loose (or steal) my handbag.

[hlthe2b]

6. Yeah... Amazon?Walmart/Target sell a bunch of these and has for several years

5. Simplest way to deal with this crap is to

just stay home.

I would have to really really really want to see something to deal with the clear plastic bag routine.
