Smart Financial Centre
Sugar Land, TX · Theater
Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land, southwest of Houston, runs a clear-preferred bag policy. A small clutch up to 4.5 by 6.5 inches does not have to be clear, but any bag larger than that, up to 12 by 6 by 12 inches, has to be clear. Clear bags are preferred and move through security faster.
Medical bags and diaper bags with an infant or toddler are allowed, subject to search. Outside food and drinks, cans, bottles, coolers, and professional cameras all stay home. Guest Services cannot hold items, so a non-approved bag has to go back to the car at this 6,400-seat performing arts and entertainment center.
