Understanding American Airlines Arena’s policies regarding vaping devices is essential for all attendees. Here are the key regulations and smoking area details:
Vape Policy Overview
Vapes and e-cigarettes are strictly prohibited inside American Airlines Arena. This ban includes all seating areas, concourses, restrooms, clubs, and suites. Attempting to use these devices indoors will result in enforcement action.
Designated Smoking Areas
Smoking and vaping are only permitted in specifically designated outdoor locations:
- Located outside specific gates on the Plaza Level (check arena signage)
- Typically accessed via designated exits; re-entry is permitted
- Vaping is subject to the same restrictions as traditional smoking
Important: These are the only permitted locations. Balconies, stairwells, and other outdoor areas within the arena complex are not designated for smoking/vaping.
Transporting Vapes
- You may bring your vape device into the arena, but it must remain unused and stored at all times while indoors.
- Ensure devices are powered off. Spare batteries must be carried in protective cases; loose batteries are a safety hazard.
- E-liquids must comply with TSA carry-on liquid rules if you traveled by air to the event.
Consequences of Violation
Violating the vaping policy may lead to:
- Confiscation of your device
- Removal from the arena without refund
- Potential fines under local ordinances
Medical Devices Exception
Individuals requiring medically prescribed vaporizers should contact the arena’s Guest Relations department well before the event date for specific accommodation procedures.
