B 26-0651 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Arena Safety Conformity Amendment Act of 2026

This bill updates existing safety laws to include two new sports venues, the Downtown Arena and the Southeast Arena, in regulations that currently apply to other stadiums in the District of Columbia. The primary change prohibits unauthorized individuals from entering the playing surfaces of these arenas unless they have explicit permission from the venue operators. By adding these locations to the legal definition of regulated areas, the measure ensures consistent safety standards across all major sports facilities in the city.
