Reminders from the CHI Health Center to those attending state wrestling:
CLEAR BAG POLICY
The CHI Health Center Omaha arena has a Clear Bag Policy. Only clear, uncolored plastic bags will be permitted into the facility, or guests may carry one clutch-sized purse or wallet not exceeding 4.5 inches tall by 6.5 inches long. Bags that do not meet these guidelines must be returned to a vehicle or discarded. Exceptions will be made for bags of medical necessity. MECA staff members are not permitted to hold or store bags on the premises.
CASH-FREE FACILITY
CHI Health Center Omaha concession counters and kiosks have transitioned to a cash-free environment. All major credit and debit cards are accepted. Multiple Cash-2-Card machines are on site that function as reverse ATMs, providing a debit card for the amount of cash inserted. There are no fees associated with utilizing these machines.
CAMERA POLICY
Cameras are permitted into the CHI Health Center for the NSAA State Wrestling Championships. However, their use may not impede the view of other guests or block aisle access. Spectator camera bags must adhere to the arena’s clear bag policy. Only credentialed individuals will have media access.
GUEST SERVICES
The Guest Services department at CHI Health Center Omaha is dedicated to providing an exciting and memorable customer experience while ensuring the safety and security of all visitors. If you have any questions or require assistance during the event, please speak with the nearest crowd manager or visit Guest Services behind section 116 on the main concourse.
To report an incident, you may also call 402.599.6787 or text OMAHA YOUR ISSUE AND LOCATION to 69050.
METAL DETECTORS
For the safety of our guests, we require all visitors to enter the building through metal detectors. We suggest arriving early – an influx of latecomers can create long lines and slow down the entry process, especially close to an event’s start time.

Public parking lots will open by 6:00 AM. Please note that passes are single use, and a parking fee must be paid upon each entry or re-entry.
