MBA Arena - COSTUME & PROPS POLICIES

Costumes are permitted, if credentials are always visible, with some exceptions. For the safety and experience of all guests, full-face coverings are permitted only after clearing security and must be removed if requested by our security personnel.

You must be recognizable at all times.
Props must adhere to the prohibited items list.
Your costume must not be wider than 4 feet across, longer than 6 feet, or taller than 8 feet. Additionally, you must be able to easily maneuver your costume over stairs or ramps unassisted.

You must also be able to sit in your seat while wearing your costume without obstructing the view of those around you.
You must have unobstructed vision at all times (i.e., must not need to remove a piece of your costume in order to see).
Armor cannot pose a threat to others by way of sharpened metal edges, spikes, or bladed surfaces. Metal and wood costumes will not be allowed per venue security.
All swords or bladed weapons must be blunt-edged and cannot have a sharpened edge (no metallic or predominantly wooden weapons). No weapon may be sharp or pointed enough to cut or pierce someone with moderate pressure, or heavy enough to create a threatening club. Note: Worbla and 3D prints will be permitted, pending that it follows the above weapon restrictions.
You may not bring firearms of any kind including air guns or cap guns, as well as any replica weapon (i.e., facsimiles or realistic versions of real-world weapons).

You may pose with a prop in a brandishing manner, so long as no reasonable person would interpret the pose as anything other than dramatic effect. Local police, event staff, or management may stop you at their sole discretion.
There will be no bag check or prop storage available on site.
