State Farm Stadium Bag Policy For Concerts

So, you’ve snagged tickets to that can’t-miss concert at State Farm Stadium. You’re picturing the light show, the roar of the crowd, maybe even snagging a tour t-shirt. But then, a tiny voice whispers: What about my bag?

Let’s face it: nothing kills a pre-show buzz faster than being turned away at security because your crossbody has been deemed a security risk. The official rule is simple, but the execution requires a little strategy. For most concerts, the policy mirrors the NFL’s strict guidelines: bags must be clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC and cannot exceed 12" x 6" x 12". Think of it as a stadium-approved fishbowl for your stuff.

Got your hands on a cute little clutch? Good news: one-gallon clear Ziploc bags and small wristlets (roughly 4.5" x 6.5") are typically allowed, but they must fit through the official bag-check template. And leave the 20-pocket hiking backpack at home—it’s a hard no. You know what’s also banned? Huge totes, camera bags (unless it’s a point-and-shoot), and anything that looks like it could smuggle in a small dog. We’ve all seen the viral videos.

Pro-tip: If you’re rocking a designated driver wristband, you can also bring an empty reusable water bottle (yes, the clear plastic kind!) to stay hydrated. Your best bet? Treat your pocket like a VIP lounge. Phone, card, lip gloss, and that sheer confidence that you’re perfectly prepared. That way, you breeze through security while everyone else is frantically unbuckling their cargo pants.

So, pack lightly, laugh at the chaos around you, and step into that stadium knowing you’ve conquered the bag policy. The concert is about you, not your purse. Now go sing your heart out—you’ve earned it. Rock on.
