Us Bank Ed Sheeran Bag Policy

Okay, let’s talk about the one thing no one wants to think about when Ed Sheeran is about to serenade your soul: the bag policy. U.S. Bank Stadium is a glorious castle of sound, but their bag rules? They’re a tiny bit extra. You know the drill—

The Short, Slightly Painful Version

First, the brutal truth: No backpacks. Not even a cute, tiny one. That Jansport you’ve had since high school? Stay home. They want you to carry your entire life in something the size of a slice of bread.

Specifically, it’s all about clear bags. You want a tote? It must be clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC and no bigger than 12" x 6" x 12". Think: a see-through lunchbox for your wallet and phone. Super sexy.

The "Clutch" Loophole (Wink, Wink)

Here’s where it gets fun. You can bring a non-clear clutch. But it has to be tiny. We’re talking 4.5" x 6.5". That’s basically a fat wallet. It’s so small, you’ll have to leave your car keys and your dignity at home (just kidding on the dignity, mostly).

So, ask yourself: Do I want to look like a spy at a low-budget airport? Or do I want to rock a clear fanny pack like a boss? Choose wisely.

The "Do They Really Check?" Yes, They Really Do

Oh, you thought you could sneak that big leather purse past the friendly guard? Think again. They have tape measures. I saw a woman almost get tackled for a bag that was 12.1 inches. Okay, not tackled, but she was sent back to her car with a death stare.

The security line moves fast, but bag checks are meticulous. They will make you empty your clear bag like you’re at the TSA. It’s not mean, it’s just strict. U.S. Bank Stadium doesn’t mess around. Ed Sheeran deserves a safe crowd, right?

What You Can Actually Bring

Let’s be positive. You can bring a medically necessary bag. Just get it cleared at the guest services gate. Same with a diaper bag if you have a tiny human with you. You are not doomed.

You can also bring a wristlet. You know, those little coin purses that hold one credit card and your hope? Those are fine. And a phone. You only need your phone for the Instagram stories, anyway.

The "No-Go" List That Hurts

Let’s mourn the things you cannot bring. No coolers. No duffel bags. No camera bags larger than a point-and-shoot. And no selfie sticks. Ed wants you to feel the moment, not poke your neighbor in the eye.

Also: No umbrellas. It’s Minnesota. It will rain. You will get wet. That’s part of the experience, buddy. Bring a poncho or accept your fate.

Pro Tip: Pocket Power

Here’s the secret pros use: Wear a jacket with huge pockets. Cargo pants? Yes, please. U.S. Bank Stadium allows things in your pockets, and they don’t measure those. So load up. Phone, charger, your friend’s snack—stuff it all in your pants.

You look like a kangaroo? Maybe. But you’ll have everything you need while everyone else is crying because their clutch is too small.

The "What If I Show Up With A Bad Bag?" Scenario

Don’t panic. U.S. Bank Stadium has options. They offer bag check services for a fee. It’s not free, because nothing is. Usually, it’s run by a third party near the gates. You drop your precious contraband bag there and pick it up after Ed sings "Perfect."

Cost? Around $10-$20. It beats driving back to your hotel, but it’s a line you don’t want to wait in at 7:58 PM. My advice? Just leave the big bag at home. Save the cash for an overpriced beer.

One Weird, Final Tip

Bring a clear plastic shopping bag. Seriously. Go to Target, buy a $0.50 clear tote. It’s ugly, it crinkles, and your friends will laugh at you. But you’ll get through security in 12 seconds flat.

Then, while everyone is fumbling with their tiny clutches and getting yelled at, you’ll waltz in. You’ll see Ed Sheeran. You’ll sing along. And your bag? It’s perfect.

Now go forth, be clear, and don’t bring a backpack.
