EVOLV GATE SCREENING TECHNOLOGY

Pinewood Bowl Theater will utilize new gate screening technology. The walk-thru frictionless technology should provide a more efficient gate screening process and enhance patron safety. The arena has secured the same gate screening technology that Nebraska Athletics introduced at Memorial Stadium before the 2024 football season. 

The new gate scanners have no impact on Pinewood Bowl Theater's Clear Bag Policy, which remains in place for all events.
