Clear Bag Policy

Please note that the NFL’s Clear Bag Policy WILL BE IN EFFECT for the Football Championship Game. The Clear Bag Policy affects the type and size of bags that are permitted into the stadium – not the items that fans normally need to bring to a game. Each fan may bring in their pockets items such as keys, makeup, combs, phones, wallets and credit cards. Fans must hold these items in their hands at time of entry for screening. Fans may also carry a blanket or jacket into the stadium. Every fan may use the below specified bags to carry other items into the stadium:
• One bag that is clear plastic, vinyl or PVC that does not exceed 12” by 6” by 12”.
• In addition to one of the clear bags noted above, fans may also carry in a small clutch bag or purse approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap – no larger than 4.5” by 6.5”.
• An exception will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection at all gates, but the preferred entry points to inspect medically necessary items are the Northwest corner (employee entrance) OR Southeast corner (adjacent to Ticket Office).
• Formula, diapers and wipes may be included in one of the clear bag choices listed above. Each member of a family, including children, will be able to carry an approved clear bag and a clutch purse, providing ample storage capacity.
• All items subject to inspection.
