Arena security
All who plan to attend the show pass through a full-body metal detector prior to entering the arena. Arena officials suggest show-goers plan for additional time to enter the building. Music begins at 7 p.m., the events center website says.
Iowa Events Center security protocol prohibits items such as drugs and illegal substances, weapons of any type, and outside food or drink to enter the arena for shows. A full breakdown of what can and can't be brought in is listed at iowaeventscenter.com.
