Welcome to the world of hassle-free hockey, Colorado Avalanche fans! Before you head to Ball Arena to cheer on the Avs, there’s a super simple rule that will save you time, frustration, and awkward bag-searches at the gate. It’s the Clear Bag Policy, and trust me, it’s your new best friend for game day. No more digging through a dark purse while the line backs up behind you.
The purpose of this policy is all about speed and safety. By requiring bags to be clear—or limiting you to a small clutch—security can see everything instantly. The huge advantage? You zip through the entrance lines like a Nathan MacKinnon breakaway, leaving the slow-pokes behind. Plus, you’ll never accidentally leave your keys or wallet at home, because everything is visible and organized.
Let’s get creative with your clear bag! Think of it as your game-day command center. Fill it with a team-colored pashmina scarf, a mini Avalanche rally towel, and a reusable water bottle (empty, of course). For a fun touch, add a printable schedule of the month’s games or a tiny plush “Bernie” the mascot keychain. Just remember: no opaque cosmetic pouches inside—everything must stay see-through.
Must Read
Not a fan of a big clear tote? You’ve got options. The policy allows a small clutch bag (roughly the size of a hand) that doesn’t need to be clear, plus a clear plastic bag for your other stuff. A pro tip: use a clear stadium-approved backpack from the team store—it’s durable, washable, and shows off your burgundy and blue pride. It’s a win-win.
FAQ
Practical advice before you go: size matters. Your clear bag must be no larger than 12” x 6” x 12”. Grab a ruler and test it at home to avoid a gate disappointment. Also, pack light—leave the giant camera and laptop at home or in your car. This policy isn’t a punishment; it’s a gift that gives you more time to grab a beer and find your seat before puck drop.
So, embrace the clear bag, fellow Avs fans. It makes your night smoother, safer, and faster. Next time you’re heading to see the boys on the ice, think clear, go fast, and enjoy the game without a single bag-related hiccup. Go Avs!
