T-Mobile Center
Kansas City, MO · Arena
T-Mobile Center in downtown Kansas City keeps a clear bag rule. Your main bag has to be clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC and no bigger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches, and you can add a small clutch up to 4.5 by 6.5 inches that does not have to be clear. The arena encourages fans to skip bags altogether to speed up the metal detectors.
Backpacks are the line, along with anything bigger than the clear bag limit. There is no public bag check, so a non-approved bag has to go back to the car. The Power & Light District and the free KC Streetcar are right outside the doors.
