Paycom Center
Oklahoma City, OK · Arena
Paycom Center in Oklahoma City keeps a tight bag limit. Any bag, purse, or clutch is fine as long as it is no bigger than 6 by 9 by 2 inches, and it does not have to be clear. Anything larger, along with all backpacks and hard-sided bags, is turned away, so Thunder fans tend to travel light.
Every bag is searched at the gate, and there is no bag check or lockers on site. If you bring more than the small limit, it has to go back to the car. Diaper bags and medical items are allowed and will be searched on the way in.
