Major changes are coming to Blossom Music Center's bag policy.
Purses must now be smaller than 4 1/2 inches by 6 1/2 inches. Coolers, backpacks and camera bags will not be permitted.
The venue announced the change on its Facebook page Wednesday. There is no confirmation from Blossom Music Center that the changes have anything to do with the attack in England this week.
