New "Carry-In" Bag Rules at Blossom
Blossom Music Center has announced new rules on bags and other items being brought into the Cuyahoga Falls concert venue.
The announcement came down Wednesday, two days after the bombing outside of the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England, that left 22 people dead, and 59 others injured.
In a statement, Blossom says their rules for carry-in bags and items were more relaxed than other venues; and that the rule change will "provide a safer environment for (our) fans and expedite entry." The new rules apply to large purses or bags bigger than 4.5 by 6.5 inches, coolers, backpacks, etc.
Below is the Facebook post from Blossom:
UPDATE: To provide a safer environment for our fans and expedite entry we are implementing a new policy that limits bag size. This policy will be in effect for the entire 2017 concert season! See below for the new bag policy details ↓
Permitted Items: One-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziploc bag or similar) per person for factory sealed FOOD ONLY. Small clutch type bags, approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap can be taken into the venue with one of the clear plastic bags listed above. Bags will be searched. Bag/purse size must not exceed 4.5” x 6.5”. An exception will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection.
Non-Permitted Items: Purses larger than a 4.5” x 6.5” clutch bag, coolers, briefcases, backpacks, fanny packs, cinch bags or luggage of any kind, computer bags and camera bags or any bag larger than the permissible size.
Venue management reserves the right to add, delete and interpret the above policy for the safety of guests, artists, and staff.
