Boston’s TD Garden institutes new bag and screening policy, here is what you need to know

BOSTON – TD Garden, home of the Boston Bruins and Boston Celtics, has announced a partnership with Evolv Technology, a security technology company pioneering AI-based detection tools. This collaboration brings Evolv Express® to TD Garden, implementing a frictionless and secure security screening experience for all guests. The new entry experience began on February 17, 2024.

“TD Garden is committed to providing a best-in-class experience for our guests, and safety and security is paramount,” said Glen Thornborough, President of TD Garden and COO of Boston Bruins. “Evolv’s innovative technology allows us to do just that, while also streamlining the entry process and minimizing wait times.”

Evolv’s Express system utilizes advanced AI and sensor technology to screen guests as they walk through security at the pace of life. Guests walk through a screening lane, eliminating the need for guests to stop and have personal effects such as mobile phones and wallets checked.

TD Garden is also instituting a new bag policy and strongly discourages guests from bringing bags to events. No bags larger than 6” x 4” x 1.5” will be permitted into the arena. Guests with non-complying bags can store their items for a fee at The Mobile Locker Company located on Legends Way. The Mobile Locker Company will be available for all events 2 hours prior to event start time and close 1.5 hours after the event concludes. Items must be retrieved from The Mobile Locker Company on the same day.
