In order to enhance security and speed up spectators’ entry into stadiums, many facilities throughout the US – and across the globe – have implemented a clear bag policy to assist with entry efficiency.
Most facilities have set standard bag requirements– such as a clear stadium tote bag or a clear crossbody stadium bag – is allowed to be brought into the stadium, and there are strict guidelines for the types of bags and sizes that are acceptable.
What is considered a stadium approved bag?
Although the NFL was one of the first organizations to implement a clear bag policy and their guidelines seem to used in most facilities, you may want to check the individual requirements of the stadium or event you’re attending to make sure that your bag adheres to their specific clear bag policy.
Most clear bag policies are modeled after the NFL guidelines – such as the PGA Tour, NCAA and most concert venues – and, as such, their requirements provide a good basis to ensure you purchase a stadium-compliant bag.
Below are the characteristics that NFL stadium compliant bags have:
The bags are see through.
All bags brought into the stadium must be clear – made from transparent plastic, vinyl, or PVC – with the contents inside of the bag unobscured by accessories.
Must meet size requirements
Stadium compliant bags, according to the NFL guidelines, should not be larger than 12” x 6” x 12”. Also, a small clutch bag is usually allowed.
Logo only on one side of the bag.
A stadium-friendly bag is typically able to have one logo displayed on one side.
There a wide range of stadium bags available, which comply with stadium bag policies. You can choose a style to suit you, from the clear crossbody stadium bag to a clear stadium tote bag.
Camera bags, computer bags, backpacks, briefcases & even large purses are all prohibited in most stadiums.
You may be able to bring other bag sizes or styles to events such as concerts – or smaller sports games –but this will depend on the individual venue and stadium.
The best thing you can do is to purchase stadium bags that adhere to the stadium's bag policy, to make sure you never encounter a problem at any event.
