Empower Field at Mile High
Denver, CO · Stadium
Empower Field at Mile High in Denver follows the NFL clear bag rule. You can bring one clear bag up to 12 by 6 by 12 inches, or a one-gallon freezer bag, plus a small bag up to 4.5 by 6.5 inches. That small allowance is a little more generous than most, since it covers fanny packs and cross-body bags as well as clutches.
Backpacks, large purses, alcohol, and any signs, banners, or flags stay home. If you bring something that does not fit, lockers outside Gate 8 near the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame wall hold it for a fee. RTD light rail stops right at the stadium, an easy ride from downtown.
