Tampa Bay Rays Bag Policy 2023

Hey there, baseball fans! Let's chat about the Tampa Bay Rays' bag policy for the 2023 season. I know, I know, it's not the most exciting topic, but bear with me. We'll keep it fun and light, promise!

So, What's the Deal with Bags?

First things first, the Rays want to make sure everyone has a smooth and safe experience at Tropicana Field. That's why they've got a bag policy in place. Don't worry, it's not as strict as the TSA at the airport. I mean, who wants to take off their shoes to check a bag of peanuts?

Bag Sizes and Types

Now, let's talk bags. The Rays allow you to bring in bags that are 16" x 16" x 8" or smaller. That's about the size of a small backpack or a large purse. Anything bigger than that, and you'll have to leave it at the bag check, which is free, by the way. No need to worry about breaking the bank just to bring in your comfy stadium seat cushion.

Here's a quick list of bags you can bring in:

  • Backpacks
  • Purses
  • Diaper bags
  • Drawstring bags
  • Single-compartment bags

And here are a few bags that are not allowed:

  • Multi-compartment bags (like a bag with a separate cooler compartment)
  • Hard-sided coolers
  • Backpacks with multiple compartments
  • Any bag that's bigger than 16" x 16" x 8"

What About Food and Drinks?

Alright, let's talk about the good stuff - food and drinks! The Rays allow you to bring in food and non-alcoholic beverages. That's right, you can pack a picnic and enjoy it at the game. Just make sure your bag fits the size requirements we talked about earlier.

But remember, no outside alcohol is allowed. You'll have to buy your beer and cocktails at the stadium. And trust me, they've got some delicious options. I mean, have you tried the Cracker Jack'd Onion Rings yet? Game. Changer.

Prohibited Items

Now, let's quickly go over some items that are not allowed in the stadium. I'm sure you already know most of these, but it's always good to have a refresher:

  • Weapons of any kind
  • Alcohol
  • Illegal substances
  • Noise-makers (like whistles or air horns)
  • Pets (service animals are allowed, of course)
  • Signs or banners that are obscene or discriminatory

Bag Check: What to Expect

If you've got a bag that's too big, don't worry, the bag check process is quick and easy. There are several bag check locations around the stadium, so you shouldn't have to wait too long. And the best part? It's free! That's right, you won't have to pay a penny to leave your bag behind.

So, there you have it, folks! The Tampa Bay Rays' bag policy for the 2023 season. I hope this helped answer any questions you had. Now, go forth and enjoy some baseball!

And remember, whether you're cheering for the Rays or just there for the hot dogs, Tropicana Field is all about having a good time. So, grab your bag (if it fits the size requirements, of course), pack some snacks, and get ready to enjoy America's favorite pastime. See you at the game!
