Safe Arena Policy | AYC Future Point

Chaifetz Arena has implemented a series of health and sanitization policies and procedures and are following guidelines from the CDC, State of Missouri, Saint Louis University and local public safety and health officials. Everyone plays an important role in facilitating a safe environment at Chaifetz Arena.

Please review the below dropdowns for further information.

Following CDC guidelines, all guests over the age of two will be required to wear a mask at all times (including while in seats). All employees are also required to wear a mask as well. Chaifetz Arena is following the Saint Louis University Mask Policy.

Masks must have fabric that covers the nose and mouth, and ties behind the head or has ear loops. Use of a face shield does not eliminate the requirement to wear an appropriate mask underneath.

PROHIBITED: Gaiters, bandanas, masks with exhalation valves.

If a mask will cause you impairment due to an existing health condition, please contact Guest Services at 314-977-5018 or chaifetzguestservices@slu.edu at least 72 hours prior to game/event. Entry will be denied if advance notice is not provided. Fans who are unable to wear a face covering will be required to wear a face shield.

Guests MUST NOT come to Chaifetz Arena if they have COVID-19, COVID-19 symptoms, or know they’ve been exposed to COVID-19. To further help in facilitating a safer gameday experience, all guests attending Chaifetz Arena are asked to use the #CampusClear app on their smartphone for self-monitoring for temperature, symptoms or virus exposure.

Once your account is created by selecting Saint Louis University, you will be prompted to answer the question “How are you feeling today?”

Once you submit your answer, the app will display clearance (“Good to Go!”) or denial (“Not Cleared for Campus Access”).

If you are cleared to come to campus, you will be asked to show the “Good to Go” screen upon entrance at Chaifetz Arena.

If you are unable to download the app or access the internet, you will have your temperature taken (must be below 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit) and fill out a paper symptom check form.

Guests are required to maintain 6 feet of social distance between yourself and any other guest not in your party both inside and outside of Chaifetz Arena, including parking lots, entry queues, and seating.

In an effort to assist with social distancing and to prevent congestion, Chaifetz Arena has divided the main concourse into two directional lanes. The inner lane will run clockwise with the outer lane running counter-clockwise, directional arrows will be featured on the floor. All guests must follow the directional flow of each lane with crossover areas available for guests needing to "change lanes". Additionally, bowl stairways will feature a flow with the right lane going down and the left lane going up.

The health and safety of our guests and employees is our number one priority. Chaifetz Arena is following guidelines from the CDC to put a thorough cleaning and disinfecting plan in place using EPA registered products including electrostatic sprays. Procedures include cleaning and disinfection prior to every event, as well as disinfecting high touchpoint areas regularly throughout events.

Guest touchpoints have been decreased through the Clear Bag Policy, mobile ticketing, as well as upgraded walk-through metal detectors that allow you to walk through with your cell phone, keys and wallet.

In addition to limited occupancy, masks, symptom screening, decreased touchpoints, and social distancing, guests will have access to over thirty hand sanitization stations located throughout Chaifetz Arena including at all gates, near the portable concession stand, and in various locations around the concourse.

Chaifetz Arena will have two portable concession stands operating a limited menu of snacks and select beverages, one located in the alcove between Gates C and D and another located between Gate A and the pavillion overlook. The portable stands will be cashless. Masks and social distancing (6 ft) will be required while in the concession line.

Please note, these are the only spots for concession purchases inside Chaifetz Arena. They will be portable stands.
