Here is the headline you need to tattoo on your brain: Bags must be clear. Not “kinda clear” like a foggy shower curtain, but fully transparent, like your aunt’s advice after her third cocktail. The official approved bag is a clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag that doesn’t exceed 12″ x 6″ x 12″.
Yes, you can bring a clear fanny pack, but you will look like a snack vendor. Lean into it. It’s a badge of honor. You’re not a fan; you’re a prepared fan.
What About My Tiny, Tiny Clutch?
I hear you, clutch enthusiasts. You want to bring that little rectangle of freedom that holds a lipstick and a credit card. Good news: you can! The policy allows a small clutch bag that is roughly the size of a human hand—specifically, 4.5″ x 6.5″. This is not a beach tote. This is a “maybe I brought one mint and my keys” size.
But here’s the twist: that tiny clutch can be non-clear. It is the classified exception. It’s like the stadium is saying, “Fine, you can have a secret pouch, but don’t get cute.” If your clutch is bigger than a hockey puck, you risk the dreaded Bag Check Gate of Shame, where you have to walk back to your car in front of 60,000 laughing strangers.
