Ford Amphitheater
Colorado Springs, CO · Amphitheater
Ford Amphitheater in Colorado Springs, a newer venue that opened in 2024, runs a clear bag policy. You can bring one clear bag no bigger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches or a one-gallon clear resealable bag, plus a clear fanny pack up to 13 by 6 by 3 inches or a small clutch up to 4.5 by 6.5 inches that does not have to be clear.
The handy part is the fallback. Lockers are available for purchase to hold prohibited items, so a non-approved bag does not have to go all the way back to the car. One factory-sealed water bottle up to 24 ounces is fine, and seat cushions or stadium seats with no metal are allowed.
