About Scotiabank Arena
Opening in 1999, the stadium was originally going to be a basketball venue only with the Raptors playing most of their games at Skydome (Rogers Centre). It was later decided the Maple Leafs needed a new venue and the Scotiabank Arena design was modified to handle both basketball and hockey.

Security Screenings
Like almost all US and Canadian Stadiums, you will need to enter through a metal detector before entering the stadium. Be sure to give yourself extra time and don't bring any weapons or devices that could be seen as a weapon inside. Pat down searches may be required.
Bag Policy
Small handbag purses and baby bags are only permitted inside the stadium. Backpacks, luggage, and regular or large size handbags are prohibited. There does not appear to be a specific size limitation so use common sense when bringing your bags. All bags are subject to search before entering.
Note: Bag and security policies listed above are for typical sporting events. Special events, concerts, and other situations may result in variations. Please check the event website for any changes.
