You can bring a small digital camera, sunblock and cellphones to Saturdayβs 17th annual KFMA Day, but leave your designer purse, backpack and camera bag at home.
Pima County is banning purses, backpacks, camera cases, oversized tote bags and almost anything else you would consider using to store your personal belongings at a daylong rock festival β including fanny packs.
βYou can still take personal items as long as itβs inside one of the bag sizes outlined in the policy,β said Pima County communications specialist Marcia Zamorano.
The policy, put into effect at Kino on April 1, limits you to either a gallon clear plastic bag, a small clutch purse or a vinyl or clear plastic bag no bigger than 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches. If you opt for the clutch purse, realize that βwhen you walk in the door, security is going to open that bag to see whatβs inside,β Zamorano said.
The policy is similar to one put into place last fall at University of Arizona sports facilities (Arizona Stadium and McKale Center). Saturday will be the first time Pima County will enforce the Kino Sports Park policy because this is the first event at the stadium since it was enacted, Zamorano said.
The gates to Kino open at noon Saturday, April 16, and the first act, The Endless Pursuit, goes on stage at 1 p.m. Chicago heavy-metal rockers Disturbed headline KFMA Day, which also includes performances by veteran Florida hard-rockers Shinedown and alternative rock newcomer Meg Myers.
