Rob Sobolik, General Manager of the FARGODOME, explains.
“Please anticipate a higher level of security when attending FARGODOME events. We encourage guests to have patience and to make themselves aware of what they can do to help expedite the process.”
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO!
See details here:
(Fargo, ND – March 27, 2018) – With the installation of 30 walk-through metal detectors at the beginning of the year, FARGODOME staff have been undergoing proper training to make the process of patrons entering the building as efficient and safe as possible. Officials at FARGODOME have also released new policies and procedures so guests will know what to expect when attending their next event.
·It is strongly recommended and encouraged that no unnecessary bags are brought to the facility.
The maximum size for a bag allowed into the building is 13”x13”. A clear bag is encouraged, but not required.
·Express lanes are available. Each entrance has an express lane option for those who do not bring a bag or any extra items to the event. Extra items are defined as strollers, diaper bags, etc. If you do not have anything other than what is in your pockets, we encourage you to use the express lanes.
·Remove items from pockets. Signs are posted at the entrances of all gates that list what items need to be removed and not removed before proceeding through the detectors. A full list of these items can be found at

·Expect delays. Ingress of guests at events will potentially be a slower process and guests are encouraged to arrive early. When approaching the detectors please have the identified property removed from your pockets. Containers will be available to divest those items to the other side of the detectors. Please be prepared for this process.
·Additional handheld wand detectors will be used as a secondary form of security.
·
Know Before You Go.
A new email campaign called “
Know Before You Go
” is being implemented to give customers the most information about attending an event. For ticketed events such as concerts, family shows and Gate City Bank Theatre events, an email will be sent to ticket buyers from the FARGODOME 24-48 hours prior to the show. These details will also be posted on the event page at
