“I am worthy to be traded” Boston bruins star insisting to leave the team due to…
Boston: Some Boston Bruins supporters were taken aback by the tight bag policy that security at the TD Garden is currently enforcing on Monday afternoon.
This is because their too large bag caused them to be turned away.
On Sunday, TD Garden made an announcement on social media that they are tightening their bag policy and reducing the size of bags that are permitted.
It doesn’t seem rational. “I understand a small bag overall, but it seems like an arbitrary measurement,” Bruins supporter Dana Salvucci said to WBZ-TV.
The NHL and NBA implemented the restrictions, but the Garden has been lax in the past and was still letting visitors in if their bags were searched.
Now, all bags have to measure 6 by 4 inches and only 1.5 inches thick. Diaper bags and medical bags will be accepted.

“My phone is longer than that, so a phone needs to be longer than 6 inches to fit in a bag,” said Kristen Mich, a Bruins fan.
“Good thing I only carry something that’s my wallet and my phone because that’s really small,” Mich commented.
The day before the Bruins played the Stars, The Garden announced the stringent guidelines on social media.
Some were taken aback by the delayed announcement. When many supporters arrived for the game, they were informed they were not allowed entry.
Fans with baggage can check into mobile lockers on the premises. Normally $15 a locker, the TD Garden is giving them away for free during this changeover.
“This bag costs $20. It’s in the garbage,” Mich chuckled.
“I would pay the $15,” stated Dallas Stars supporter Jessica Grissom, whose suitcase was too big when she entered the Garden recently.
“I’m simply going to wait and see. I’m not going to discard my bag. Our vehicle is quite far away. Another fan with a new bag issue, Raja Hashem, stated, “I’m just going to see what we can do.”
According to Garden representatives, no occurrence necessitated tightening the enforcement of the regulation. Rather, it aligns with the arena’s security enhancements.
These days, Evolv metal detectors—which resemble the ones outside Fenway Park during Red Sox games—are stationed there.
Another Boston Bruins supporter, Sarah MacKenzie, added, “I guess I can see why they do it, there’s a reason, but if it was more publicized before.”
