Little Caesars Arena
Detroit, MI · Arena
Little Caesars Arena in Detroit keeps a very tight bag limit. The only bag you can bring is a single-compartment wallet, clutch, or fanny pack no bigger than 4 by 6 by 1.5 inches, and it does not have to be clear. That covers Pistons games, Red Wings games, and concerts in The District Detroit.
The generous part is the exception. Diaper, parenting, and medical bags up to 16 by 16 by 8 inches are allowed and screened at entry. Everything else, including backpacks, laptop bags, and camera bags, stays in the car, since there is no general bag storage.
