Portland, OR venue guide

Bag policy
For non-basketball Rose Quarter events, bags up to 14" x 14" x 6" are permitted and screened; smaller bags are encouraged for faster entry.

Hard-sided bags and coolers are prohibited; bag check is available but cannot hold prohibited items.
Entrances
All guests are subject to security screening; select entrances use Evolv Express screening. Door times vary by event—Winterhawks doors typically open about 60 minutes before puck-drop, and many concerts/family shows about one hour before start. There is no re-entry once you leave.
