Empower Field Bag Policy Zach Bryan

So, you snagged tickets to see Zach Bryan at Empower Field. Congratulations, you’re about to cry your eyes out to “Something in the Orange.” But before you can emotionally ascend, you have to face the bag policy. It’s the most intense security screening this side of the TSA—but for purses.

The Purse That’s Basically a Stamp

Clear plastic? You bet. The bag you bring can only be a tiny clutch that’s smaller than a slice of pizza. We’re talking 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches—that’s about the size of a folded-up map from 1998. If your bag can hold more than two granola bars and a single tampon, you’ve failed.

I once saw a woman try to bring a “small” purse that could fit a kitten. The security guard looked her dead in the eye and said, “Ma’am, that kitten would have to be a newborn, and it’d still be too big.” She was sent back to the car.

Zach Bryan’s Vibe vs. The Clear Bag Reality

You’re going to hear songs about trucks, heartbreak, and Oklahoma dirt. You want to feel rustic and free. But then you’re forced to carry your phone, keys, and wallet in a transparent Ziploc prison that screams “I’m about to board a flight to 2007.”

Here’s a surprising fact: Empower Field at Mile High actually started this ridiculously strict bag policy in 2018, way before Zach Bryan was selling out stadiums. So blame the NFL, not the folk singer. Zach just wants you to listen to “Burn, Burn, Burn” while you hold a clear plastic baggie like you’re a scientific specimen.

The “Fanny Pack” Loophole (It’s a Lie)

The official rules say you can bring a fanny pack. Oh, you think you’re clever, right? Wrong. It has to be a single-compartment, non-cargo fanny pack that is flat. Most modern fanny packs have secret pockets for snacks or tiny rebellion. Those will get you exiled faster than yelling “Free Bird” during a Zach Bryan ballad.

One dude showed up with a “clear fanny pack” that was shaped like a snake. The security guard laughed so hard she almost passed out—then she made him throw it away anyway. There is no mercy at the gate.

What You Can Actually Smuggle In

You can bring a sealed plastic water bottle. Yes, sealed. So buy one at the gas station and promise not to fidget with the cap. Also, you can bring a small med kit—but if the Tylenol bottle is bigger than your pinky finger, they’ll treat you like a drug lord.

And here’s a wild truth: you can bring a blanket. A blanket! For a stadium concert. So you can wrap yourself in a fuzzy rectangle of comfort while clutching a purse the size of a deck of cards. It makes no sense, but that’s the law of the land.

The Final Verdict: Just Use Your Pockets

My honest advice? Wear cargo pants. Seriously. You can stuff your phone, your ID, and your credit card into four different pockets. Then you waltz past the bag check line while everyone else is crying over their rejected fanny packs. You’ll feel like a genius.

And when Zach sings “Oklahoma Smokeshow,” you’ll be free to wave your hands in the air without worrying about your tiny transparent purse flying off into the crowd. Trust me. Nothing ruins a good cry like chasing a plastic bag down a stadium aisle.
