Honda Center
Anaheim, CA · Arena
Honda Center runs a clear bag policy, so the easy way in is a clear bag up to 12 by 12 by 6 inches. You can also bring one small non-clear bag, up to 5 by 9 by 2 inches for most events, though Anaheim Ducks games tighten that to 4 by 6 by 1.5 inches. Backpacks do not get in at any size. It is the Anaheim arena home to the Ducks and a steady run of concerts. Here is exactly what gets in at Honda Center and what stays in the car.
