Caesars Superdome
New Orleans, LA · Stadium
The Caesars Superdome in downtown New Orleans follows the NFL clear bag rule. Your main bag has to be clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC and no bigger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches, and you can add a small non-clear clutch up to 4.5 by 6.5 inches. A one-gallon freezer bag counts too.
Backpacks and large purses stay home, and there is no on-site bag check, so a non-compliant bag has to go back to the car. Every guest walks through a metal detector, so keep your clear bag open and ready. The same rule covers Saints games, the Sugar Bowl, and Essence Fest.
