The Cap One Arena bag policy is in place to ensure everyone's safety, which is pretty cool if you think about it. It's like when you're at the airport, and you have to take off your shoes and put your laptop in a bin - it's all about being thorough and making sure everyone gets to their gate (or in this case, their seat) safely. And, let's be real, who doesn't love a good security checkpoint challenge to get those endorphins pumping before the event?
But seriously, the bag policy is pretty straightforward: if your bag is smaller than 14x14x6 inches, you're golden. That's roughly the size of a lunchbox or a small backpack, so it's not like they're asking you to carry a clutch purse or anything. And, if you do have a bigger bag, you can always check it at the door or drop it off at a nearby bag check station.
