Backpacks? Forget it. Unless it’s a clear backpack (which makes you look like you’re going to a rave in 1999), you’re not getting in. Leave the Jansport at home.
Same goes for diaper bags. I know, I know. But the official policy says diaper bags are NOT allowed unless they’re clear or meet the clutch size. That’s harsh. Maybe invest in a clear diaper bag? They exist.

And yes, medical bags and diaper bags for the kiddos might get a pass, but only after a friendly chat with security. Prepare to explain yourself, and maybe bring a doctor’s note (okay, not really, but you get the vibe).
The “What If I Forget?” Emergency Plan
You’re parking the car, already running late, and you realize your bag is a no-go. Don’t panic. You have options.
First, locker rentals at the stadium. They exist, but they’re limited, and they cost money. It’s like paying a ransom for your own stuff. Annoying, but effective.
Second, turn your bag into a pocket. Empty it into your jacket. Wear two jackets. Stuff your keys in your socks. I’ve seen people do it. It’s not pretty, but it’s a survival tactic.
Or, just be that person who walks in with nothing but a phone and a credit card. You’ll feel like a minimalist ninja. Plus, no line at security! Freedom.
