for the comfort and safety of our guests and will be strictly enforced.

The Huntington Center’s security personnel, in cooperation with SMG Management, as well as the event

promoter, will determine the method of search being utilized. Searches conducted at all entrance gates may be

a standard visual inspection; a light pat-down type search; or the use of hand held metal-detecting wands may

be employed.

Any type of banner and/or sign may not be brought into the Huntington Center, unless authorized by Center

Management. Guests may return any unauthorized banner and/or sign back to their vehicle.

department. Any and all required permits are the responsibility of the promoter. Copies of permits must be

furnished to the Event Coordinator.
