If you are attending the Northern Maine Regional Cheering Championships on Saturday, January 25th or the Class B, C, or D Northern Maine Basketball Championship Tournament in February, or for that matter, any event at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor you should be advised of the enhanced security protocol.

You're not going to just be able to purchase your ticket and walk in! You should allow extra time to go through security!  Please read below so you're not surprised, have to make a trip back to your vehicle or are late to the start!

CROSS INSURANCE CENTER SECURITY POLICY

All guests are subject to search prior to entering the Cross Insurance Center

The Cross Insurance Center uses metal detectors for all events

Staff will visually conduct bag and metal detection inspections to identify prohibited items to ensure the safety of all patrons

Guests will be subject to a secondary screening if alarm sounds going through the metal detectors (this may slow entry into the venue)

Any guest who declines to be searched, or is in possession of prohibited items, may be denied entry to the Cross Insurance Center
