EVENT SAFETY AND SECURITY
-
To maintain a safe environment, Alamodome Security requires all guests to be screened via walk-through metal detectors. Patrons can keep all items in their pockets while passing through the metal detectors, so there is no need to empty them when approaching the security areas. If a scan detects items that require further inspection, guests will be directed to a secondary screening area and will be asked to present and/or discard those items. Patrons have the option to return the article to their vehicle.
All guests—including children—must be screened. Infants and toddlers may be carried through metal detectors. Children able to walk may be asked to walk through independently. Guests who are unable or choose not to use a walk-through metal detector may request screening with a hand-held device.
For safety reasons, any item or person that may pose a risk to the Alamodome, its guests, or property will not be allowed inside. The facility reserves the right to deny entry or require removal of any item at its sole discretion.
Once patrons have been screened and have had their bags checked, they will be directed to the ticket scanning location. -
