The Kia Forum
Inglewood, CA · Arena
The Kia Forum is a clear bag venue, so your main bag has to be see-through and no bigger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches. Alongside that, you can carry one small clutch or wristlet up to 9 by 6 inches that does not have to be clear, which covers your phone, cards, and keys. Backpacks, oversized bags, and coolers do not get in, and every bag is searched at the door. Outside food and drinks are not allowed either, though you can bring one factory sealed water bottle up to 20 ounces. Bag rules here can shift for a specific show, so it is worth checking your event page before you head out. Here is exactly what gets in at The Kia Forum and what stays in the car.
