Make sure you don't take anything in there unless you have a clear plastic bag...there is a smoking section and no umbrellas allowed in either

Women should not take a purse to JPJ. Clear bags only. Seats are small.

If you are attending an event here, do NOT bring purses that are bigger than a clutch. I learned the hard way and had to stash my purse in bushes outside the arena. Annoying and frustrating.
