Attending the Super Bowl requires adherence to specific security protocols to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all attendees. The NFL enforces a clear bag policy and prohibits certain items within the stadium. Understanding these restrictions is crucial to avoid inconvenience and potential denial of entry.
Clear Bag Policy:
To expedite entry and enhance security, the NFL mandates that all bags brought into the stadium must be clear and adhere to the following dimensions:
- Size: Bags must be clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC and not exceed 12″ x 6″ x 12″ (30.5 x 15.25 x 30.5 cm).
- Types Allowed: Clear backpacks, clear fanny packs, and clear cinch bags that fit within the permissible dimensions.
- Additional Option: A one-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (e.g., Ziplock bag) is also permitted.
Bags larger than the specified size or those not meeting the clear bag requirement will not be allowed into the stadium. citeturn0search0
