All items and persons entering Kinnick Stadium are subject to security screening and inspection via a walk-through metal detector and/or a hand wand metal detector. Arrive early to avoid lines and delays getting into Kinnick Stadium. If you wait – you will be late!
Using the latest screening technologies, guests will not need to remove any items from their person as they pass through, like your wallet, keys, or phone. Unlike the airports or other venues, you have visited, you can keep everything on you. Your wristlet or clutch will also be carried right through the metal detector. Remember, we have a Clear Bag Policy at Kinnick Stadium.
If you alarm when passing through the metal detector, the security staff member will conduct a secondary screening using a handheld metal detector wand. If you are still alarming, a police officer may be summoned to assist with the security screening.
Guests may refuse inspections, but management reserves the right to refuse entry. Guests that are found with prohibited items are subject to the Code of Iowa and/or ejection from the stadium. Cooperation with game management and security personnel will help maintain Kinnick Stadium as a safe and secure environment for all guests.
Weapons are not permitted in the stadium. Possession of a firearm or weapon is strictly forbidden. Possession of a weapon will result in immediate confiscation, ejection and/or possible arrest.
Generally, all persons may pass through the walk-through metal detectors. The walk-through metal detectors comply with regulations relating to pacemakers, defibrillators, or other vital support systems; and are safe for pregnant women. The electromagnetic field emitted by CEIA (manufacturer of our metal detectors) devices is extremely weak, with amplitude comparable with that of the earth’s magnetic field. However, CEIA cannot exclude that this screening device may affect personal medical electronic devices, depending on their functionality or their restrictions on use. Any recommendation or directive issued by medical personnel or medical equipment manufacturers relating to electromagnetic fields must therefore be implemented. If you are unable to pass through the metal detector, let the event staff know, and they will perform an alternative screening using a hand-held metal detector wand.
