Clear Bag Policy

Exceptions to this policy will be made for all medically necessary items after proper inspection.

 

We strongly encourage fans to not bring any type of bags, but fans will be able to carry the following style and size bag, package, or container at stadium plaza areas, stadium gates, or when approaching queue lines of fans awaiting entry into the stadium:
