FAQs
-
Fans are not limited by the number of clear bags.
-
Yes. Binoculars, smartphones, or cameras may be carried into the facilities, but no cases or bags will be allowed. This new procedure is not a restriction on items that fans have been able to bring into the facilities. It is only a restriction on the type of container used to carry those items.
-
Small seat cushions and seat pads without pockets, zippers, compartments, or covers are permitted.
-
Fans will be able to bring blankets by tossing them over a shoulder or arm as they arrive at the gate.
-
Be sure to leave your non-clear bag in your vehicle and only pack your gameday necessary personal items before heading to our facilities.
-
All non-clear bags will be prohibited from entering the facilities except for the small clutch bag. Please leave your non-clear bag in your vehicle.
-
No, not all bags are banned. Small “clutch" purses, no larger than 4 1/2" by 6 1/2", with or without a handle or strap, are permitted along with either the 12" by 6" by 12" clear tote bag or the one-gallon freezer bag.
-
No. We are only limiting types of bags that may be carried into our facilities, not the items normally brought to a game. Therefore, fans may carry (in their pockets or jackets) keys, makeup, feminine products, combs, phones, wallets, credit cards, etc., if the spectator chooses not to put them in a clear bag or small clutch. Spectators also can carry a blanket over their arms, binoculars, and/or a camera around their neck or in their hands without a case.
-
Diapers may be carried in a permissible 12" by 6" by 12" clear bag.
-
While an exception will be made for medically necessary items, such items will be subject to inspection.
-
No. Fans will be able to enjoy tailgating activities on the Dragon Walk and in parking lots and can do so with greater safety and knowledge that entry into the stadium will be smoother and faster.
