Frank Erwin Center |

Since its inception, the Frank Erwin Center has maintained solid security policies, safety measures, and event management guidelines for the benefit of our guests.

Since the tragic incidents of September 11, the Erwin Center management team has been diligently reviewing security issues and now has additional policies in place to ensure your safety.

• only ticketed and credentialed individuals are permitted to enter the Erwin Center during events.
• no video cameras, detachable lenses, electronic equipment cases, backpacks, knapsacks, large bags, banners (except during University of Texas Men's & Women's basketball games), fireworks, tripods, camera cases, alcoholic beverages, coolers, cans, bottles, wineskins, or foodstuffs may be carried into the arena.
• pocket-sized portable radios and mini-TVs are permitted
• all containers, including handbags, are subject to visual inspection; patrons who refuse to allow visual inspections of contents will be denied entry to the arena
• unauthorized vehicles parked near or at the Erwin Center will be towed immediately
• policy for arena pass outs remains the same, but guests may not carry items into the arena upon re-entry
• smoking is prohibited within the Erwin Center.

Expect potential delays at Erwin Center entrances. Police officers are scheduled to patrol the Erwin Center block the day and night prior to events. An increased number of security officers are scheduled to man each entrance.

While these policies are stricter than those in the past, they are in place for your welfare and are subject to change without notice.

Thank you for your understanding and for your support.
