Bag storage at the verified venues

Acrisure Stadium: The pages do not describe bag storage or lockers. Bicycles are prohibited on the stadium campus on game days, concerts and special events.

PNC Park: The page says PNC Park will not hold or store any prohibited items, so there is no bag storage.

PPG Paints Arena: The pages describe no bag storage. Items that do not pass security have to go back to vehicles, and fold-up strollers are preferred because storage space is limited.

Petersen Events Center: The pages read describe no bag storage.

Pavilion at Star Lake: The pages describe no bag storage. Items that are not allowed should go back to a vehicle.
