Orlando City Stadium Bag Policy

So, you’re heading to an Orlando City game at Exploria Stadium—awesome! You’ve got your purple gear, your voice is warmed up for “Vamos Orlando,” and you’re ready to cheer until you’re hoarse. But wait—what about your bag?

That cute tote you brought? Yeah, it might get rejected faster than a referee’s bad call. Let’s break down the bag policy so you don’t end up walking a mile back to the car—or worse, tossing your favorite bag into the stadium’s “no-go zone.”

The Golden Rule: It’s All About Size

First up: clear bags are your best friend. Think of them as the VIP pass to the bag-club. Orlando City’s policy is pretty tight—like a goalkeeper’s gloves on a penalty kick.

You’re allowed one clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag that’s no bigger than 12” x 6” x 12”. That’s roughly the size of a small shoebox. If your bag is opaque? It needs to be a tiny clutch—no larger than 4.5” x 6.5” (basically the size of your hand).

Don’t test the limits. I once saw a guy try to bring in a duffel bag that could fit a small dog. Spoiler: The security guard was not amused. Stick to the rules, and you’ll breeze through the line like a Lionel Messi dribble.

What About Diaper Bags and Medical Supplies?

Got a little one in tow? Relax—you’re covered. Diaper bags are allowed, but they must be clear too, or at least under that 12” x 6” x 12” limit. And if you’re carrying medical supplies, just bring a doctor’s note or a prescription label.

The team wants to be inclusive—they’re not monsters. Just be prepared to explain everything quickly. And no, “this is my emotional support bag of chips” is not a valid medical reason.

The Prohibited Items (Don’t Be That Fan)

Let’s talk about the stuff you should leave at home. You cannot bring:

• Backpacks (even if they’re clear—unless they meet the size rule)
• Purses that are not clear (unless they’re the tiny clutch)
• Laptops, tablets, or any device bigger than a phone (sorry, no Netflix during halftime)
• And obviously, no weapons, fireworks, or your neighbor’s parrot (true story—someone tried).

If you’re unsure, just leave it in the car. Seriously. The security team has magical X-ray vision for anything suspicious. And they’ll laugh when you try to smuggle in a selfie stick.

The “I Forgot My Clear Bag” Survival Kit

Okay, you show up with a massive backpack. Panic not. Exploria Stadium has a bag check policy—for a small fee. You can leave your non-compliant bag at a designated spot, but it’s not the end of the world.

Pro tip: Bring a small, clear fanny pack instead. It’s hands-free, stylish (if you’re into 90s vibes), and fits your phone, ID, and a granola bar. You’ll feel like the coolest fan on the block.

What You Can Bring (And Still Feel Like a Pro)

You’re allowed one sealed water bottle (empty, that you can refill inside), snacks like peanuts or chips (but no glass containers), and a small blanket for cold games. Also, a portable phone charger is a lifesaver—just make sure it’s not bigger than your phone.

And don’t forget: your ticket (digital or printed) and a positive attitude. The energy inside that stadium is electric—you don’t want to be the person fuming at the gate because your bag was denied.

The “Oops, I’m in the Wrong Line” Scenario

There are two entrances: the main gate and the bag-check lane. If you’re packing lightly, you can slip through the no-bag line—it’s way faster. But if you’ve got a clear bag, you’ll need the bag line. Don’t be the fan who ends up at the wrong queue and then tries to merge like a lane-changing driver on I-4. It’s chaos.

Know your lane. It’ll save you ten minutes of awkward shuffling and eye-rolls from the crowd behind you.

The Ultimate Takeaway: Keep It Simple, Soccer Star

Look, the bag policy isn’t meant to ruin your night. It’s about safety and speed. The faster you get through security, the faster you can grab a beer, find your seat, and scream “Defense!” at the top of your lungs.

My advice? Plan ahead. Buy a cheap clear bag online for $10. Prepare your pockets. And if you forget, just know that you’ll either pay a small fee or begrudgingly walk back to your car. Either way, the game will still be amazing.

So go on—pack your gear, wave your purple flag, and get ready to roar. Because once you’re inside, the bag drama disappears, and all that’s left is the beautiful game. And honestly? That’s worth every single rule.

Now go get ’em, Lions. You’re ready for kickoff.
