Rose Bowl 2016 Bag Policy

Hey there, sports fan! So, you're heading to the Rose Bowl 2016, huh? Well, let me spill the beans on their bag policy. You know, just to make sure you're not left out in the cold, or rather, the California sun.

What's the Scoop?

Alright, so here's the deal. The Rose Bowl is all about safety first, fun second. They've got this clear bag policy that's been around since 2013. You're probably thinking, "Clear bags? Really? I'm not a secret agent!" I hear ya, but bear with me.

What's Allowed?

Now, let's talk about what you can bring in. You're looking at clear bags, no bigger than 12" x 6" x 12". Think of it as a little personal item, like a tiny suitcase for your essentials. Oh, and don't forget, no more than one bag per person.

Inside this magical, clear bag of yours, you can have:

• Your wallet, phone, and keys. You know, the usual suspects.
• Binoculars, but leave the case at home. They've got to be in a clear bag too.
• Cameras, but no camera bags. You'll have to hold that bad boy in your hand or stick it in your clear bag.
• Food and drinks, but nothing in glass containers. Safety first, remember?

And here's a little tip from me to you, bring some sunscreen. California might be sunny, but it's not that friendly.

What's a No-No?

Now, let's talk about what you can't bring in. I know, I know, it's a bummer, but rules are rules.

Here's what you'll have to leave behind:

• Bags that aren't clear. I know, I know, it's a tough one. But think of it as a chance to upgrade your bag game.
• Bags bigger than 12" x 6" x 12". Sorry, but your giant purse or backpack will have to stay home.
• Weapons of any kind. I mean, come on, it's a football game, not a gladiator arena.
• Alcohol. You can buy it inside, so no need to smuggle it in.
• Noise makers, like air horns or vuvuzelas. Sorry, you'll have to find another way to show your team spirit.

And listen, if you're not sure about something, just ask. The Rose Bowl staff are there to help, not to ruin your fun.

What if I Forget?

Alright, so you're at the gate, and you realize you've got a bag that's not clear. Don't panic! You've got a couple of options.

First, you can take all the items out of your bag and put them into a clear bag. The Rose Bowl will have some on hand for just such an occasion. It's not ideal, but at least you won't have to miss the game.

Second, you can leave your bag at one of the bag check stations. It's free, and they'll keep an eye on it until you're done cheering your lungs out.

So there you have it, folks! The lowdown on the Rose Bowl 2016 bag policy. Now you can enjoy the game without any nasty surprises at the gate. Happy cheering!
