No. We are limiting only the type of bags carried into the venue, not items that you normally bring to a game. Therefore, you can carry in your jacket or pockets keys, makeup, feminine products, comb, phone, wallet, credit cards, etc., if you choose not to put them in a clear bag or clutch. You can carry a blanket over your arms and binoculars and/or camera around your neck or in your hands without the case. You can use the clear bag and clutch to carry other items. You will continue to have the flexibility to bring a wide variety of approved items into the venue. Every member of your family may carry in a permissible bag.

No. Unlike some event venues, we are not banning all bags. Small clutch purses, with or without a handle or strap, are permitted along with either the 12′′ x 6′′ x 12′′ clear tote bag or the one-gallon freezer bag. This should enable you to carry the same items you have in previous years and not slow entry into the venue* for all fans. We encourage fans not to bring any bags but have created a policy that balances fan needs with improved public safety and convenience.
