Per NFL policy, fans will be able to carry the following style and size bag, package, or container at stadium plaza areas, stadium gates, or when approaching queue lines of fans awaiting entry into the stadium:

  • Bags that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12" x 6" x 12."
  • One-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziploc bag or similar).

Small clutch bags, if they are approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap, can be taken into the stadium with one of the clear plastic bags.

Guests with special dietary needs (e.g., religious or severe food allergies) can request an exception letter via this form. Requests should be submitted at least 48 hours in advance of the event. If approved a staff member will provide instructions for entry with special dietary foods.

Leafleting or distribution of any literature is prohibited.

Understanding and adhering to these policies will help ensure that all fans enter the stadium in a safe and timely manner. If a ticket holder elects not to consent to these searches, or is found attempting to enter with a prohibited item the ticket holder may be denied entry into the stadium.

We appreciate your cooperation with game day security requirements.
