Bag & Entry Policies
Wondering what you can bring with you to Buc Days? We’ll help you plan for a smooth entrance into the event areas.
American Bank Center Bag Policy
Any bags larger than a clutch bag will need to be clear. Bags no larger than 12″x12″x6″ will be permitted inside American Bank Center. Guests who have bags larger than this size will be asked to return them to their vehicles. Small clutch bags or purses do not have to be clear but cannot exceed 4.5″ x 6.5″. We do allow each member of the party to bring in a large clear Ziploc bag, including children, of their belongings. All bags will also be searched for prohibited items at entry before walking through the metal detectors.
Stripes Carnival Bag Policy
Bag checks will be conducted at all public gates during public operating hours. Bags, briefcases, strollers & backpacks are subject to search and seizure.
Service Animals Policy
Service animals are defined as dogs (or miniature horses when reasonable) that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for persons with disabilities. Such animals are welcome in areas where the public is normally allowed to go.
Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal’s work or the individual’s disability prevents using these devices. In that case, the individual must maintain control through voice, signal, or other effective controls.

- Alcohol, drugs, illegal substances or any paraphernalia associated with drug use
