So, you're planning to rock out at Fenway Park this summer, huh? Well, let me tell you, the bag policy has changed more than a Red Sox player's batting average. But don't worry, I'm here to spill the beans on what you can and can't bring into the park in 2019. Grab a coffee, get comfy, and let's dive in.
First things first: The Fenway Park Bag Policy 2019
Imagine Fenway Park is like that picky friend who only likes certain types of bags. You know the one - they're all "Oh, this bag is too big, this one is too small, this one has too many pockets..." Well, Fenway is a bit like that, but with bags.
In 2019, Fenway Park is allowing clear bags only. Yes, you heard it right. It's like they've been watching too many episodes of Breaking Bad and decided to implement their own version of 'Heisenberg's bag policy'.

But what does 'clear bag' even mean?
Well, it means your bag needs to be see-through, like that time you accidentally left your gym bag in the sun and it turned translucent. But seriously, Fenway wants to see what's inside your bag, so no opaque bags, please.
Now, you might be thinking, "But what if I have a really, really important non-clear bag?" Well, my friend, Fenway has thought of that too. They've got these nifty little pouches you can use. They're clear, of course, and you can buy them at the park. It's like Fenway is saying, "We know you have secrets, but we need to see them first."
Size matters (in this case, it's a good thing)
Now, you might be wondering, "What size bags are we talking about here?" Well, Fenway has been kind enough to give us a size range. You can bring in bags that are no larger than 16" x 16" x 8". That's about the size of a small toddler, or a large cat. You know, something you can carry around without too much trouble.
But here's the thing, folks. If you're bringing a bag that's bigger than that, you're going to have to leave it at the bag check. And who knows what kind of shenanigans your bag will get up to while you're not looking? It might start a mosh pit, or worse, it might start a sing-along to "Sweet Caroline".
What can you bring in your clear bag?
Now, you might be thinking, "Great, I can't bring my favorite bag, but what can I bring inside?" Well, Fenway has a list for that too. Here are some things you can bring:
- Food and drinks (non-alcoholic, of course)
- Cameras (but no tripods, sorry photography enthusiasts)
- Binoculars (because who doesn't love a good game of 'Spot the Ball')
- Handheld umbrellas (because even the Green Monster can't protect you from a sudden rainstorm)
- Seats (yes, you can bring your own seat. Because why sit on the ground when you can sit on a chair?)
But remember, folks, no bottles or cans. Fenway is like that strict teacher who won't let you have your favorite snacks in class. They want you to buy their food and drinks. It's all part of their evil plan to make you gain the 'Fenway Fifteen' (that's what I call it, anyway).

Prohibited items: The naughty list
Now, let's talk about the things you can't bring into Fenway Park. It's a long list, folks, so buckle up.
- Alcohol (because Fenway wants you to buy their overpriced beer)
- Bags that aren't clear (we've been over this, but I'll say it again - no opaque bags!)
- Balloons (because Fenway doesn't want you to float away)
- Banners or signs (because Fenway doesn't want you to express yourself)
- Cameras with detachable lenses over 6" (because Fenway wants to control your photography)
- Coolers (because Fenway wants you to buy their food)
- Drones (because Fenway doesn't want you to spy on them)
- Fireworks (because Fenway doesn't want you to set the park on fire)
- Frisbees (because Fenway doesn't want you to play catch)
- Illegal substances (because Fenway wants you to stay sober)
- Laptops (because Fenway doesn't want you to work during the game)
- Noise-making devices (because Fenway doesn't want you to cheer too loudly)
- Pets (because Fenway doesn't want your pet to steal their hot dogs)
- Selfie sticks (because Fenway doesn't want you to take selfies)
- Tripods (because Fenway doesn't want you to take professional photos)
- Video cameras (because Fenway doesn't want you to record the game)
- Weapons (because Fenway doesn't want you to start a riot)
Phew, that's a long list, huh? But don't worry, Fenway isn't as strict as they seem. They just want to keep everyone safe and happy. And who knows, maybe they'll add a 'prohibited items amnesty bin' where you can leave your contraband before entering the park. You can call it the 'Fenway Forget-Me-Not'.
What if you forget the rules?
Now, you might be thinking, "What if I forget the rules and bring a prohibited item?" Well, don't worry, Fenway has a plan for that too. They've got these lovely folks called 'Security' who will check your bags at the entrance. If they find something they don't like, they'll ask you to leave it at the bag check or dispose of it.
But here's a fun fact, folks. Fenway Park has a 'Prohibited Items Amnesty Bin' where you can leave your contraband before entering the park. It's like a confessional for your forbidden items. You can whisper your sins to the bin and walk away a free person. Just don't tell Fenway I told you about it. It's our little secret.
So, what's the moral of the story?
The moral of the story, folks, is that Fenway Park has a strict bag policy in 2019. But don't let that deter you from having a great time. Just follow the rules, leave your contraband at home (or in the amnesty bin), and enjoy the game. And who knows, maybe you'll even see the Green Monster do a little dance. But don't count on it.
And remember, folks, Fenway Park is like that picky friend. They might seem strict, but they just want what's best for you. So, follow the rules, have a great time, and maybe, just maybe, Fenway will let you bring your favorite bag next year. But don't hold your breath.
