How Does the Golden 1 Center Staff Review Your Bag?
Fans coming to the Sacramento venue for an NBA game or concert will go through a metal detector before scanning their ticket for entry. Fans with a bag will queue up in a different line since that security check takes longer for fans without a bag. During bag check at the entrance, the security team reviews the inside and outside of the bag, its size, and if the items inside can enter the arena.

There is a trend that more sports venues are adopting a clear bag policy in the future, so consider getting one now. Some other bag types that can enter the Sacramento basketball arena are below.
- Medical bags
