FAN POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR THIS SEASON

Your Kalamazoo Wings are back on the ice at Wings Event Center, and we can't wait to have you back in the arena cheering on the team. Before we reopen our doors, please review the following information to ensure a fun and seamless experience during your visit with us.

ARENA CLEANING PROCEDURES

Wings Event Center has achieved the Global Biorisk Advisory Council® (GBAC) STAR™ accreditation, the gold standard for prepared facilities. Under the guidance of GBAC, a Division of ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, Wings Event Center has implemented the most stringent protocols for cleaning, disinfection and infectious disease prevention in its facility.

MASK RECOMMENDATION & VACCINATIONS

Per guidelines from the Center for Disease Control, we recommend and encourage fans to wear face coverings while inside Wings Event Center, except when eating or drinking.

We will continue to monitor the situation, closely following the CDC’s recommended protocols, as well as state and local health ordinances.

ARENA RE-ENTRY POLICY

Due to the importance of our guest’s safety, there will be no re-entry into the stadium once your ticket is scanned.

To provide a safer environment for the public and to significantly expedite fan entry into Wings Event Center, we are requiring the use of clear bags for hockey games and special events for items exceeding what can be held in pockets or a small clutch. Our clear bag policy limits the size and type of bag that can be brought into the arena and allows for a contactless entry.

Below is an outline of the Clear Bag Policy:

  • One-gallon clear zip-seal bag (Ziploc bag or similar)
  • Small clutch bags that do not exceed 4.5" x 6.5", with or without a handle or strap, may be carried into the stadium, after proper inspection, along with one of the clear bag options
