RENO, Nev. – To improve safety and streamline venue access, the Reno Rodeo Association will enforce a clear bag policy at the Reno-Sparks Livestock and Events Center from June 19 to June 29.
“Here at the Reno Rodeo, keeping everyone safe is our top priority. That’s why we’re implementing a clear bag policy as part of our ongoing efforts to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all our fans,” said George Combs, General Manager of the Reno Rodeo. “We want everyone to have a great time while feeling secure, and this policy is just one piece of the puzzle in our comprehensive security plan at the Livestock Events Center.”

- Bags that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12″ x 6″ x 12″
- One-gallon clear plastic freezer bags (Ziploc bag or similar)
- Small clutch bags or purses, with or without a handle or strap, that do not exceed 8”x11″
