Penn State Spring Commencement 2022

In line with the best practices at major entertainment venues, the Bryce Jordan Center utilizes walk-through metal detectors at all entry gates and restrictions on the size and type of bag that may be carried into the arena for all events. 

Fans are encouraged to avoid bringing bags into the arena. This would include backpacks, purses, briefcases, duffle bags, coolers, etc.

PERMITTED BAGS AT THE BRYCE JORDAN CENTER:

• Bags that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12” x 12” x 6”.
• One-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziploc bag or similar).
• Small clutch bags, with or without a handle or strap, that do not exceed 6.5” x 4.5".

An exception will be made for medically necessary items that cannot fit into a clear bag, after proper inspection.

Fans will be asked to return non-approved bags or other prohibited items to their vehicle prior to arena entry. There is no check-in location for prohibited bags or items at the BJC.

All media representatives with necessary bags and equipment must enter the BJC at the media entrance to have each item inspected and tagged prior to entering the BJC.

Flash photography, camera or recording equipment (including cameras with detachable lenses, any form of camera stand or audio/video recording devices, laptops or tablets) will be allowed. Please make sure any bags/cases/carriers adhere to our bag policy.  Tripods set-up in the aisle, or where they could potentially block another guest's view, are strictly prohibited.
