Fedex St Jude Bag Policy

So, there I was, standing in the FedEx Forum, the buzz of the crowd echoing around me, the scent of popcorn filling the air. I was ready to catch a game, my team's jersey on, face painted, and a bag full of snacks for the night. But then, the dreaded words echoed over the loudspeaker, "Please present your bags for inspection." My heart sank. I knew I had too many snacks to pass the bag policy. Sound familiar?

Now, before we dive into the FedEx St. Jude Bag Policy, let me tell you, I've been there. I've had to down a bag of chips in record time (not recommended, by the way) and I've had to leave behind a perfectly good soda (heartbreaking, I know). But, I've also learned a thing or two about the bag policy that's made my game nights smoother. So, let's get into it, shall we?

What's the Deal with the Bag Policy?

The FedEx St. Jude Bag Policy is there to ensure safety and security for everyone at the game. It's not just about keeping your snacks at home (although that's a part of it). It's about making sure no one brings in anything that could pose a threat or disrupt the event.

Now, you might be thinking, "But I just want to bring in my water bottle!" or "My kid's favorite stuffed animal!" I get it, I really do. But remember, the policy is there for everyone's safety and comfort. Plus, there are ways around it, which brings me to my next point.

What's Allowed and What's Not?

Alright, let's get down to the nitty-gritty. Here's what you can bring in:

• One clear plastic bag per person, no larger than 12" x 6" x 12".
• One small clutch bag, approximately 4.5" x 6.5", with or without a handle or strap, may be carried into the venue along with one of the clear plastic bags.
• An exception will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection at the gate.

And here's what you can't bring in:

• Bags that are not clear plastic or do not meet the size requirements.
• Coolers, thermoses, bottles, cans, or other beverage containers.
• Food that is not in a clear plastic bag.
• Large purses, bags, or backpacks.
• Cameras with a lens longer than 6 inches.
• Weapons of any kind, including pocket knives.

Now, I know what you're thinking, "But what about my snacks?!" Don't worry, I've got you covered there too.

Snack Smart, Not Hard

Here's the thing, you can still bring in your snacks, you just have to be a bit clever about it. Here are a few tips:

• Use the clear plastic bag. It's your best friend here. You can fit a surprising amount of snacks in there if you pack smart.
• Skip the liquids. Leave your soda at home and opt for something dry like chips, crackers, or cookies.
• Consider the game time. If it's a day game, you might want to bring more snacks. If it's an evening game, you might want to have dinner before you go.

And remember, if you do bring in too many snacks, there are plenty of vendors inside the stadium selling food and drinks. You might just have to share your snacks with your neighbors (which, let's be real, is a great way to make new friends).

What If I Have Special Needs?

Now, I know the bag policy can be a bit restrictive, but FedEx Forum does make exceptions for guests with special needs. If you have medical needs that require you to bring in certain items, you can request an inspection at the gate. Just let the security personnel know, and they'll do their best to accommodate you.

And hey, if you're ever unsure about whether something is allowed or not, you can always check the FedEx Forum website or give them a call. They're more than happy to help!

So, What's the Moral of the Story?

Alright, folks, the moral of the story here is to plan ahead. Check the bag policy before you go to the game. Know what you can and can't bring in. And if you do bring in too many snacks (like I've done one too many times), don't stress. There are always vendors inside, and you might just make a new friend or two.

Remember, the bag policy is there to keep everyone safe and comfortable. It's not about ruining your fun, it's about making sure everyone can enjoy the game without any issues. So, let's all do our part to follow the rules, and let's have a great time cheering on our team!

And hey, if you see me at the game, feel free to say hi. I'll be the one with the clear plastic bag full of snacks, a smile on my face, and a heart full of hope for my team. See you there!
