How to Choose a Stadium Bag

Match the 12 by 6 by 12 rule

It is the size most stadiums and amphitheaters allow. Stay at or under it and you clear nearly every gate without a second look.

Go clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC

Security has to see through it. Mesh and tinted bags get turned away, so pick a genuinely clear material with no hidden pockets.

Hands-free beats handheld

A crossbody, sling, or fanny pack keeps your hands free for your phone and your drink, and it is harder to set down and lose.

Add a small clutch

A clutch up to 4.5 by 6.5 inches holds your ID, cards, and phone, and it is allowed even at venues that do not require a clear bag.

Common Questions

What size clear bag is allowed at most stadiums?

Most stadiums follow the clear bag rule made common by the NFL, a clear tote up to 12 by 6 by 12 inches or a one-gallon clear freezer bag, plus a small clutch up to about 4.5 by 6.5 inches that does not have to be clear.

Do clear bags work at every venue?

Almost. Stadiums and large amphitheaters are the strictest, and most require a clear bag. Some arenas, theaters, and casinos allow a small non-clear bag instead. Check your venue in the directory before you go.

What makes a bag stadium approved?

It is clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC that security can see through, and it stays within the venue's size limit. Anything with hidden compartments or that cannot be inspected gets turned away at the gate.

Can I bring a clear backpack?

Only where backpacks are allowed, and only if it is clear and within the size limit. Many stadiums permit a clear backpack, but plenty of arenas and theaters do not allow backpacks at all.

Styles of Clear Bags

Clear Drawstring Bag

Clear Fanny Pack or Belt Bag

A small clear pouch for your phone, ID, and cards, sized to slip in under the clutch exception even where bags must be clear.

Clear Zip Pouch

A reusable gallon-size clear pouch, the cheapest way through the gate when you only need the basics.
