Reliant Arena off limits?

Post by elwood blooz »

I didn't think it would be but thought I would double check. Headed that way to see Jeff Dunham tonite.

They prohibit weapons: http://www.reliantpark.com/en/cms/?97" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I think this stadium is owned by the City of Houston and legally should not be off-limits; but if they are performing searches at the door, you could run into a speed bump. Could be they search only bags.

Thanks Jim, I'll look for the 30.06 sign if not there & no searches.... concealed is concealed!

Ditto that.

I suspect they are more concerned about people bringing in alcoholic beverages than weapons, most of the time. Perhaps for certain performers they are concerned about weapons. (Why do I think this would be hip-hop or heavy metal bands?)

I'll be interested to hear a first-hand report.

Show was great, they sorta looked in my wife's purse & that was it. No search, metal detectors, etc. She felt a lot better walking across the parking lots to the car.

I was wondering myself but since I parked about 30' from the door I just stuck it under the seat. No security at all really, just ticket checkers. Show was hilarious.

I've often wondered what the bag checkers at these places would do if they checked some woman's large purse and found a folded SU-16 or similar in there. At just under 26", it's a possibility for something like my wife's knitting bag. :eek6

uhhmmmm, yes but irrelevant, concerts and sports are two different things. I beleive sporting events were included due to morons getting violent at games.
