15 Stadium-Approved Clear Bags for Summer Concerts and Games
The last thing anyone wants to do on the day of a long-awaited festival, concert, or game is to rush around frantically searching for a stadium-approved bag. You’ve secured the tickets, planned the perfect outfit, but did you remember the clear bag policy? Don’t worry, we’ve forgotten before, too.
According to the NFL, clear stadium bags should not exceed 6"D x 12"W x 12"H. This measurement includes clear backpacks, fanny packs, and cinch bags. Additionally, no buckles, hardware, or decor can conceal the interior of the bag and logos should only be on one side of the bag. Many other sports leagues, whether they play in NFL stadiums or not, are also starting to adopt this clear bag measurement as a standard.
It’s not just stadiums that have this policy either. More and more tourist attractions are requiring clear bags. So if you’re visiting places like the Pearl Harbor National Memorial in Hawaii, be sure you have a clear bag to take with you (otherwise you will need to take the bag to the nearby paid storage facility).
The good news: As this policy becomes more commonplace at venues, cute clear bags are becoming easier to find. Even better? The options keep getting upgrades, which means it doesn’t have to ruin your outfit. From see-through backpacks and fanny packs to totes and crossbody bags, we found options that are equally stylish and practical. Read on for 15 of our favorites—trust us, they’re ones you’ll actually want to use again once the event is over.
