First, the hard truth: your massive purse is not a bag; it’s a crime scene. The stadium police will look at it with the same suspicion you’d give a raccoon holding a stolen sandwich.
You are allowed exactly one bag. It must be a clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag. And it cannot be bigger than 12" x 6" x 12". That’s roughly the size of a very large, very disappointed shoebox. If your bag is bigger, you are immediately assigned to the “Bag Jail,” where it will sit alone, cold, and judging you for your poor planning.
Here’s a surprising fact: the policy was inspired by a man who tried to sneak in a live goat in a duffle bag. I made that up, but honestly, after seeing what people try to bring into stadiums, it feels true. The real reason is security, but let’s be real—it’s also a conspiracy by the merchandising team to sell you their overpriced mini-totes.
The Tiny Purse Loophole
But wait! There is a sacred loophole, and it is glorious. You can bring a non-clear clutch that is no larger than 4.5" x 6.5". That’s the size of an envelope. Or a slice of sourdough bread. Or your soul after you realize you can’t bring sunscreen.
This clutch is your emergency escape pod. You will shove your phone, your ID, and exactly one stick of gum into it. If you try to bring a second stick of gum, the clutch will explode. It is a miracle of physics that anything fits in there at all.

Pro tip: do not wear cargo pants. Stadium security sees cargo pockets as unregistered bags. They will pat you down like you’re a spy for a rival team, muttering about “excessive storage capacity.”
