I searched the forums and couldn't find the answer.
Sorry if this is a repeat.

I am heading to Grand Rapids on Wednesday for a family members surgery.
I was wondering if they are open carry friendly? (I do have my CPL)

Thanks for your responses.

Huxley,  I just read your post.  I have never attempted to carry at Spectrum.  I have never noticed any no weapon signs but I would expect that security would be all over you and ask you to leave.

Did you try to OC there?   Please post your experience.  N

I used to have to be there 2x a week for my job. I OC'd every time. No problems were encountered. I will warn you, though, the security officers there are actually "Peace Officers", so the typical procedures regarding LEOs should be followed. They do have the power to arrest you.
