What kind of clear bag is permitted in stadiums?
According to the National Football League, bags that are "clear plastic, vinyl or PVC" are acceptable, so long as they don't exceed one foot in width and length. In addition, no amount of decor, buckles, hardware or embellishments can be covering the contents of the bag, unless it is a stadium- or league-issued bag.
Attendees are also allowed to bring a small clutch "approximately the size of a hand" into the stadium. There are some exceptions to the rule, with stadiums allowing phones, keys, cameras, wallets, feminine products and other smaller items to be tucked away in pockets rather than bags.
The NFL instated this policy to ensure a safer environment for all fans, as well as a faster entry process into the stadium.
