Rogers Arena
Vancouver, BC · Arena
Rogers Arena in downtown Vancouver keeps a relaxed bag policy by big-venue standards. Any bag up to 14 by 14 by 6 inches gets in, clear or not, and backpacks within that size are fine, which is more lenient than most NHL arenas. Clear bags are not required.
The limits are mostly about containers, not bags. Glass and steel bottles and all cans stay home, though an empty plastic water bottle is allowed for Canucks and Warriors games. Cameras and recording devices are not permitted. There is no bag check, so anything over the size limit has to go back to the car.
