MVP Arena’s Bag Policy: Leave These Bags at Home Before Going to the Albany Venue

MVP Arena in Albany, New York is the source of many beloved childhood memories for me. I have experienced many fantastic concerts throughout the years. Bands like Kiss, Van Halen, Metallica, Aerosmith, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, Ted Nugent, and more were all bands I saw at the beloved location.

For my 10th birthday my family took me to one of the most memorable wrestling events that fans still talk about today. It was in January 1992 at the then Knickerbocker Arena, the Royal Rumble, the one where Ric Flair won the undisputed World Wrestling Federation Championship, was the event. Many people still point to that event as the greatest Royal Rumble of all time and this Berkshire County boy was there in the flesh. It's still one of my fondest memories of my early youth.
