Security Guidelines

Review the Angel Stadium security policies, including those regarding parking lots, permitted and prohibited items, and segway usage.

In correspondence with the Major League Baseball stadium safety regulations, the Angels have installed walk-through metal detectors at all ballpark gates.

Please review the information below regarding how to enter Angel Stadium safely and efficiently.

The items can stay on your person:
Belts, coins, wallet, watches and jewelry, shoes, jackets, cell phones

These items will need to be removed:
Cameras, sunglass cases, and other large metal objects are prohibited when going through the detectors.

Security personnel may occasionally require that guests retain personal belongings on their person.

Why do the Angels require the metal detector screening process?
Major League Baseball is mandating the screening process of all guests upon entry into every MLB ballpark in order to increase and standardize security practices across the game. Fan and staff safety is a top priority for the Los Angeles Angels and we believe that the implementation of this practice greatly enhances ballpark security.

What can guests expect at the gates at Angel Stadium?
Fans with bags will have their bags checked at the gates. All fans will be asked to remove cameras, sunglass cases, and other large metal objects from their pockets before walking through a metal detector. If the device detects something, the guest will be checked with a hand-held wand, with further security follow-up, if needed.

Does this mean it's going to take longer to enter the stadium?
The Angels are making every effort to ensure this security enhancement doesn't slow down the process of getting into the game. Depending on the gameday attendance, fans may experience longer wait times. We will have extra staff on duty at peak times to help facilitate the quickest entry possible, and we highly recommend that fans come early to ensure they are in the ballpark prior to the start of the game. We greatly appreciate your patience.

What can I do to help get into the ballpark quickly?
Arrive early, familiarize yourself with the forbidden items, and avoid bringing a bag if possible. Fans without bags spend less time at the screening station and enter the ballpark more efficiently. Consider gates that require less or no wait time to expedite your entry.

Is this like the TSA at the airport?
The process looks similar to airport screening, but our equipment is specifically calibrated to identify larger metal objects, rather than small, non-threatening metal items like watches and belt buckles. Fans will not be asked to remove their belts, shoes, jackets, wallets or coins before passing through the metal detector.

I have a medical device that sets off metal detectors. What should I do?
Discreetly contact the CSC Security Guard and/or a Guest Relations staff member upon entry. They are trained and prepared to help you with an alternative screening method.

Can I bring in a stroller through the metal detector? What about a wheelchair?
MLB mandates that all guests are screened prior to entry. Although most gates facilitate strollers and wheelchairs going through screening, fans with strollers or wheelchairs can also contact Security or Guest Relations staff for assistance.

Do metal detectors emit any electromagnetic waves that can harm me?
All Evolv Express and Garrett PD 6500i walk-through metal detectors in use at Angel Stadium meets and exceeds local and international standards for electromagnetic emissions and immunity, as well as electrical standards used worldwide. For further information, please visit the Garrett Metal Detectors website.

ANGELS BASEBALL PILOT SEGWAY? PERSONAL TRANSPORTER POLICY FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH A MOBILITY IMPAIRMENT (ABBREVIATED)

The Angels strive to make every guest's visit to Angel Stadium enjoyable and accessible to persons with disabilities. The Angels have established the following pilot policy regarding Segways and similar devices in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") and California State Law.

Only individuals with a mobility impairment are permitted to operate a Segway or other similar device in the Stadium. Stadium personnel may ask an individual using a Segway if the device is required because of the individual's mobility disability and may ask to see some form of proof of disability or for a credible verbal assurance that the device is being used for a mobility disability.

To facilitate Segway users, the Angels encourage (but do not require) users to contact the Stadium in advance to coordinate entry, ticketing locations and access.

Segway users must enter through the Home Plate Gate, or a second entrance, designated by the Angels. Only certain elevators will be available for use by Segway users. This policy does not permit the use of any Stadium escalators by Segway users.

The Segway must at all times be operated safely for the user, the other patrons, the staff and the building infrastructure. Segway users must remain in control of their Segway and must exercise caution when turning corners, entering restrooms, stores, concession areas or any other enclosed areas. Segway users must operate their Segway at a speed no greater than, and yield to, pedestrian traffic, and must observe and obey all reasonable safety instructions from Stadium personnel. In the event an individual's use of the Segway creates an unsafe or hazardous condition, an individual Segway user violates these rules, or violates the Stadium rules outlined in the Angels' "A to Z Guide," the Angels reserve the right to take steps to mitigate the condition, including immediate ejection of the Segway user from the Stadium.

The Angels recommend that Segway users purchase tickets in one of the Stadium's accessible seating areas. Segway users may purchase tickets for up to 3 additional companion seats as outlined in the "Accessible Seating" for Guests with Disabilities section of the Angels' "A to Z Guide," including in the same seating locations as the wheelchair accessible seats. If more than one Segway guest will be in attendance together at a particular game, the Angels, at their sole discretion, may relocate users to the same section.

During games or events with high attendance and to the extent necessary for the safety of all guests, a Segway may be restricted to certain designated access points and areas. In such instances, Stadium personnel will designate areas that allow the Segway user to reach his or her accessible seats, designated restrooms, at least one team store (if the team stores are open for sales), at least one concession area (if the concession areas are open for service) and a Stadium entrance/exit.
