If you were planning to take luggage to Saturday’s Galaxy game at StubHub Center you can forget it.
Big bags and other bulky items are out, small is in.
From the (edited) MLS press release:
Beginning Saturday a new minimum standard bag policy and guest screening measures will be instituted at all 20 MLS venues bringing MLS events in line with security measures taken by the other professional sports leagues in North America.
“Public safety is a top priority and the enhanced security measures will ensure that fans are able to continue to enjoy MLS and SUM events in a safe environment,” said MLS president and Deputy Commissioner Mark Abbott.
Under the new security policy, all guests will be fully screened upon entry into MLS venues. The screenings will be conducted via a full pat down or with the use of a search wand of magnetometers. Each venue will decide which procedures and protocols will be used.
Banned from MLS stadiums are:
- Large purses
- Coolers
- Briefcases
- Backpacks
- Luggage of any kind
- Computer bags
- Camera bags
- Any bag larger than 14’’x14’’x6’’
In addition, all bags will be subject to search upon entry.
