Fedex Field Bag Policy 2022

Alright, folks, gather 'round. I've got a tale to tell about FedEx Field's bag policy. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Bag policy? That's as exciting as watching paint dry!" But hold your horses, because this isn't your grandma's bag policy. No, no, this one's got more twists and turns than a rollercoaster at Six Flags.

First things first: What's in the bag?

Now, you might be thinking, "I can bring a bag? Really? I thought they'd make us stuff our stuff in our socks!" Well, hold onto your hats, because FedEx Field is actually pretty lenient. You can bring in a bag, but it's gotta be clear, and it's gotta be no bigger than 12" x 6" x 12". That's right, folks. It's like they're saying, "We trust you, but not enough to let you bring in a bag the size of a small child."

But here's where it gets interesting. You can also bring in a one-gallon clear plastic freezer bag. Yes, you heard me right. A freezer bag. I mean, who among us hasn't thought, "You know what would make this football game better? If I could bring in my frozen peas!"

Now, let's talk about what you can't bring in.

Alright, so you've got your clear bag, and you're feeling pretty smug. But hold your horses, because there are some no-no's. No large purses, no backpacks, no diaper bags. I mean, I get it, you've got a kid, but do you really need to bring in a bag that could double as a small suitcase?

And here's where it gets a bit... unusual. No signs or banners. I mean, I get not wanting people to bring in a sign that says "I hate the other team," but who among us hasn't wanted to bring in a banner that says "I love my team so much I'm willing to sit in the rain for three hours to watch them play"?

And here's a fun fact for you: You can't bring in a drone. Yes, you heard me right. A drone. I mean, I get wanting to get a bird's eye view of the game, but do you really need to bring in your own personal unmanned aerial vehicle to do it?

But what if you've got stuff you need?

Alright, so you've got your clear bag, you've got your freezer bag full of frozen peas, and you're ready to go. But what if you've got stuff you need? Like, say, your kid's favorite stuffed animal. Or your lucky socks. Or your collection of vintage football cards.

Well, fear not, because FedEx Field has thought of everything. They've got a bag check! That's right, folks. You can check your bag at the gate, and pick it up on your way out. It's like they're saying, "We trust you, but we also trust that you might forget you've got a bag full of stuff that's not allowed in the stadium."

And finally, the million-dollar question: Can you bring in food?

Now, I know what you're thinking. "I've been reading this whole time, and you haven't mentioned the most important thing: Can I bring in food?" Well, hold onto your hats, because the answer is... it's complicated.

You can bring in food that's in a clear bag, and it's gotta be in a sealed container. I mean, I get it. You don't want people bringing in a bag of chips that's been sitting in their car for three days, but do you really need to seal it in a container? I mean, it's not like they're going to let you bring in a bag of chips and a bag of dip and make your own little chip and dip station in the stands.

And here's where it gets a bit... surprising. You can bring in a water bottle, but it's gotta be empty when you go through the gate. I mean, I get wanting to make sure people aren't bringing in alcohol, but do you really need to make them go through the gate with an empty water bottle and then fill it up on the other side?

But here's the kicker: You can bring in a thermos. Yes, you heard me right. A thermos. I mean, I get wanting to keep your coffee or tea hot, but do you really need to bring in a thermos to do it?

And here's a fun fact for you: You can't bring in a cooler. I mean, I get wanting to keep your food cold, but do you really need to bring in a cooler to do it? I mean, it's not like they're going to let you bring in a cooler full of ice and set up a little picnic in the stands.

So, there you have it, folks.

FedEx Field's bag policy is a wild ride, isn't it? I mean, who would've thought that bringing a bag to a football game could be so... complicated? But hey, at least now you know what you can and can't bring in. So, go forth, enjoy the game, and remember: No drones. No coolers. And for the love of all that is holy, no freezer bags full of frozen peas.
