Security gates generally open 90 minutes before kickoff for football games and between 60 to 90 minutes prior to concert showtimes, though specific tours occasionally negotiate earlier access. The Dome enforces standard professional sports venue security protocols. Every guest passes through walkthrough magnetometers or undergoes handheld wanding. Removing keys, phones, and heavy metal objects expedites entry, while pocket knives, pepper spray, and outside food or drink are strictly prohibited and confiscated.
The Dome's clear bag policy remains non-negotiable. Backpacks, camera bags, tinted plastic totes, printed pattern totes, and large purses are turned away at the perimeter. You may carry a clear plastic tote measuring no larger than 12″ by 6″ by 12″ or a one-gallon clear plastic freezer storage bag. Small clutches or wristlets cannot exceed 4.5″ by 6.5″. Guests arriving with non-compliant bags must either walk them back to their vehicles or rent third-party locker storage outside select concert admission gates, which costs roughly $10 to $15 per locker and fills up rapidly.
