First, the basics: KeyBank Center has a strict clear bag policy. You can bring in a clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag that’s no larger than 12” x 6” x 12”. Or, grab a small clutch purse (roughly 5” x 8”) for your phone and lip gloss. That’s it.
“But wait,” you say, “what about my giant tote of snacks and a full change of clothes?” Put it back in the car. This rule exists to get you through security in seconds, not minutes. No more digging through a black hole of receipts and granola bars while your friends wait awkwardly.
The Hidden Fun of a Lighter Load
Think about it: with a minimal bag, you’re suddenly free. Your hands are open for high-fives, holding a drink, or waving a rally towel like a maniac. You can actually dance without a giant purse whacking your neighbor in the face. It’s liberating.
Plus, a clear bag means your stuff is on display. Did you pack your lucky keychain? Your cool friendship bracelet? Now everyone sees it. You become a walking conversation starter before the puck even drops.
