Snapdragon Stadium
San Diego, CA · Stadium
Snapdragon Stadium is a clear bag only venue, and you get one bag per person. That bag has to be either a clear plastic or clear vinyl bag no larger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches, or a one-gallon clear freezer bag. As an alternative, a small purse or clutch no bigger than 4.5 by 6.5 inches is allowed and does not have to be clear. Large purses, coolers, briefcases, backpacks, luggage of any kind, and computer bags are all turned away. Medical bags and necessary medical equipment such as insulin supplies, breast pumps, medication bags, and CPAP gear are permitted even if they are not clear, and diaper bags are allowed for guests with young children. The Mission Valley stadium applies this to its concerts and events, though a show can adjust it, so check your event page. If you arrive with too much, bag lockers are available to rent outside the stadium on the east side.
