North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre
Chula Vista, CA · Amphitheater
North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre in Chula Vista, south of San Diego, runs a clear bag policy. Your main bag has to be a clear bag no bigger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches, and you can add a small clutch up to 6 by 9 inches that does not have to be clear. One sealed bottle of water up to 20 ounces is fine.
The handy part is the fallback. If you arrive with a non-approved bag, you can check it for a small fee or buy an approved clear bag right at the gate, so you do not have to hike back to the car. Oversized bags, detachable camera lenses, and strollers all stay home. The venue has gone by Sleep Train and Mattress Firm over the years.
