State Farm Stadium
Glendale, AZ · Stadium
State Farm Stadium in Glendale follows the NFL clear bag rule, with a bit more room than most. Your clear bag can be a tote, backpack, fanny pack, or cinch bag up to 12 by 12 by 6 inches, as long as it is completely clear, and you can add a small clutch up to 4.5 by 6.5 inches that does not have to be clear.
Diaper bags are the catch, since they are not allowed. Carry diapers and wipes in a clear bag instead. You can also bring one factory-sealed 500 mL bottle of water, and the gates hand out clear freezer bags on game day. There is no bag storage, so anything that fails the rule goes back to the car.
