LITTLEJOHN COLISEUM METAL DETECTOR POLICY

For the 2018-19 season, Clemson Athletics will implement walk-thru metal detectors at all entrances to Littlejohn Coliseum.  Fans will be required to remove keys, cell phones, cameras and other electronics from their pockets prior to walking through metal detectors.  Shoes, coins, wallets, belts an jewelry will not need to be removed.  Fans who either have a relevant medical condition or do not feel comfortable walking through the metal detectors can notify event staff and participate in an alternative screening process.  The addition of the walk-thru metal detectors will result in additional time need to enter Littlejohn Coliseum, so please plan accordingly.  Clemson officials will be working throughout the season to ensure that this additional time is kept to a minimum.
