Denver Broncos Stadium Bag Policy

The Great Bag Brawl of Mile High

So you’re heading to a Broncos game. You’re pumped. But first, your bag needs to pass inspection.

This isn’t your average purse policy. It’s a security showdown with very specific rules. Think of it as a game of "Will It Fit?" but with higher stakes (and no instant replay).

The official rule? Clear is queen. Any bag bigger than a wallet must be see-through. It’s like wearing a glass shoe, but for your stuff.

Size Matters (A Lot)

Your clear bag can be no larger than 12” x 6” x 12”. That’s the size of a small loaf of bread. Or a very fat football.

Why? Speed. Security can glance inside in a second. No digging, no delays. Just you, your snacks, and the roar of the crowd.

Pro tip: If your bag is bigger than a LEGO brick, leave it in the car. You’ll thank me later.

The Tiny Bag Exception

You can bring a small clutch. It must be no bigger than 4.5” x 6.5”. That’s roughly the size of a burrito wrapper. And it doesn’t have to be clear.

This is the golden loophole. But don’t push it. If you try to smuggle in a beach bag disguised as a clutch, you’ll get the side-eye and a trip to the bag check line.

Fun fact: The clutch rule exists because someone, somewhere, really wanted to bring lipstick without losing their friend in the concourse.

What Happens If You Fail?

You’ll face the dreaded Bag Scorn. Ushers will point. Crowds will sigh. You’ll have to walk back to your car—or pay $10 to stash it in a locker outside.

Yes, there are lockers. They’re like tiny, overpriced hotel rooms for your purse. Use them only in desperation.

Better yet: Leave your big bag at home. Your shoulders will thank you. Your wallet will, too.

The Weirdest Items You Can (and Can’t) Bring

You can bring a sealed water bottle. But it has to be plastic. Glass bottles? Nope. They’re banned like the New England Patriots in January.

You can bring a blanket. Even a clear poncho. But no selfie sticks. Selfie sticks are the villain of stadium policies everywhere. They poke eyes and ruin photos.

And yes, you can bring a camera with a lens under six inches. But if you show up with a telephoto lens that looks like a rocket launcher, expect a full pat-down and some confused looks.

Why You Should Love This Policy

It’s fast. The line moves like a Broncos rush—quick and electric. No one is digging through a bottomless tote while the kicker waits.

It’s fair. Everyone plays by the same clear-bag rules. No VIPs sneak in with giant diaper bags. (Pro tip: Diaper bags count. You need a clear one, too.)

Lastly, it’s safe. You want to yell "IN-COM-PLETE!" without worrying about someone hiding a pickle jar in their backpack. The policy is your friend.

The Final Word

Treat your bag like a Broncos uniform: simple, clear, and on-brand. Grab a clear tote from Amazon for five bucks. Stuff it with a jacket, sunscreen, and a team flag. You’re ready.

Now go. Cheer loud. Eat a hot dog. And remember: If your bag isn’t clear, your path to the 50-yard line isn’t clear either.

Go Broncos! (And go home, giant purses.)
