As a method of enhancing security and speeding up spectators’ entry into stadiums, many facilities and venues throughout the US – and across the globe – have implemented a clear bag policy to increase entry efficiency and ensure everyone’s safety.
Therefore, only a certain type of bag – such as a clear stadium tote bag or a clear crossbody stadium bag – is allowed to be brought into the stadium, and there are strict guidelines for the types of bags that are acceptable.
Clear Stadium Bags
So, what makes a bag stadium approved?
The NFL was one of the first organizations to implement a clear bag policy, with many similar entities following suit and implementing bag policies of their own; you should check the individual requirements of the particular stadium or event you’re attending to make sure that your bag adheres to their specific bag policy.
However, many bag policies are modeled after the NFL policy – such as the PGA Tour, NCAA and even concert venues – and, as such, their regulations provide a good basis to ensure you purchase a stadium-compliant bag.
Bearing this in mind, here are the characteristics that NFL-approved stadium bags have:
They’re transparent bags.
All bags brought into the stadium must be transparent – made from clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC – with the contents inside unobscured by buckles or accessories.
Must meet size specifications.
Stadium compliant bags – according to the NFL requirements – should not be bigger than 12” x 6” x 12”, and a bag gauge is often used to ensure bags taken into the stadium do not exceed this size.
Additionally, a small clutch bag is allowed according to the NFL bag policy – in addition to a larger, clear bag – though it cannot exceed 4.5” x 6.5” in size (about the size of your hand).
The bags can only have one logo.
A stadium-friendly bag is typically able to have one logo printed on the bag, as long as the logo is only displayed on one side.
They may or may not have a strap.
As long as your stadium bag complies with the size and see through regulations, it’s up to you whether you opt for a bag with or without a strap.
So, what kind of stadium bags are allowed?
With a wide range of stadium bags available, that comply with stadium bag policies, this means that you can choose a design to suit you, from the clear crossbody stadium bag to a clear stadium tote bag.
On the other hand, camera bags, laptop bags, backpacks, briefcases and even large purses are all prohibited in most stadiums.
While you might be able to bring other bag sizes to events such as concerts – or smaller sports games –this will depend on the individual venue and stadium.
So, the best thing you can do is to purchase stadium bags that adhere to the stadium bag policy, to make sure you never encounter a problem at any event, while enjoying the advantages of speedier entry and the enhanced safety that stadium bag policies provide.
