Citizens Bank Park
Philadelphia, PA · Stadium
Citizens Bank Park runs a clear bag policy, so a non-clear bag has to be small to get in. A clear bag no larger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches is the main way through, and the only non-clear option is a clutch purse or fanny pack no bigger than 5 by 7 inches. Backpacks are banned, clear or not, along with drawstring bags and any other non-clear bag over the clutch size. Diaper bags and medical bags are permitted and get inspected at the gate. The South Philly ballpark applies this to Phillies games and to its concerts, though a tour can tighten it, so check your event page before you head to the sports complex. If you arrive with a prohibited bag, three locker locations at the First Base Gate, the West Suite and Club entrance, and the Left Field Gate store items for a cashless fee around $10. Show up with a clear 12 by 6 by 12 bag or a 5 by 7 clutch and you are set.
