Boise State Football Bag Policy

Okay, let’s talk about something thrilling. Something that gets the heart pumping. Yes, the Boise State football bag policy.

I know, I know. You were hoping for game-winning plays. But trust me, this is the stuff of legend… if you love not standing in line. Because nothing kills a pre-game buzz like a security guard holding up your purse.

Here’s the deal: Boise State is strict. Like “your grandma’s cookie jar” strict. They want you to have fun, but they really want you to do it with a tiny bag.

What Can You Actually Bring?

Think small. Think very small. The official rule is clear bags only. We’re talking clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC. No exceptions, and they’ll check you like you’re sneaking in a sandwich.

Your clear bag can’t be bigger than 12” x 6” x 12”. That’s about the size of a loaf of bread. A small loaf. Like, a sourdough boule you’d buy for a single brunch.

Have a clutch instead? Great news: you can bring a clutch. But it has to be smaller than 4.5” x 6.5”. That’s basically a wallet on steroids. So no, you cannot fit a full water bottle. Or your dreams.

The “Okay, But My Kid” Exceptions

Got a baby? You get a pass, sort of. Diaper bags are allowed, but they must be clear and subject to extra inspection. So pack those diapers like you’re hiding state secrets.

Medical bags get the same treatment. If you need it, you can bring it. Just get ready for a very thorough pat-down. They’re respectful, but they’re thorough. Like a friendly TSA agent who’s had three coffees.

What Will Get You Turned Away

Don’t even think about a backpack. No Jansport. No North Face. No cute little rucksack from that Etsy shop. Backpacks are banned. Period. End of story.

Also banned: coolers, duffel bags, and any bag with multiple compartments. They don’t want you sorting snacks mid-game. They want you focused on the field.

And purses? Nope. If it’s not clear and not a tiny clutch, leave it in the car. You’ll thank me when you’re not walking back to the parking lot.

The Unofficial “Pro Tip” Section

Here’s what I do: I stuff everything into my jeans. Phone, keys, a single tampon, and a credit card. It’s not glamorous, but it’s fast.

Or, I buy a cheap clear stadium bag on Amazon for eight bucks. Load it with a jacket and a snack bar. Boom. You’re in, through security in 90 seconds.

Protip: don’t bring a stadium blanket unless it’s in a clear bag. They’ll make you hold it awkwardly over your shoulder like a picnic refugee. It’s not a good look.

Why Are They So Mean About This?

I get it. It feels like overkill. But the Broncos aren’t trying to ruin your life. They’re trying to keep you safe and get people through the gates fast.

Imagine if everyone brought a giant duffel bag. The lines would stretch to Idaho. The game would start, and you’d still be waiting. No thank you.

Plus, let’s be real: you don’t need half the stuff you try to bring. Do you really need a full makeup bag? Or three chargers? You’re watching football, not hiking the Appalachian Trail.

The Very Last Thing

If you forget the rules, don’t panic. There are bag-check services near the stadium. You’ll pay a few bucks, but it beats tossing your favorite tote in the trash.

So here’s your checklist: clear bag, small clutch, or empty pockets. Wear your blue and orange. Scream loud. Don’t bring a fanny pack unless it’s also clear. Yes, that includes the neon one from 1998.

You’re ready. Now go make some memories. And maybe smuggle in a bag of peanuts in your bra. I won’t tell. But the stadium might.

See you at the Smurf Turf. Go Broncos.
