Safety & Clear Bag Policy
The safety and security of all guests and staff remains our paramount concern, underscored by rigorous protocols and continuous vigilance.
Upon entry to State Farm Stadium, all guests will undergo a search and have their belongings scanned. Stadium personnel maintain the right to confiscate items posing a threat to the facility or event safety. Guests declining the search or violating policies may be denied entry or ejected from the premises.
Clear Bag Policy
State Farm Stadium enforces a Clear Bag Policy to enhance safety and streamline entry procedures. Only clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bags not exceeding 12" x 6" x 12" are permitted, including clear backpacks and fanny packs.
Exceptions for medically necessary items are allowed after inspection. Guests are urged not to bring bags, but those adhering to the policy may carry approved clear bags or small non-clear bags within specified dimensions, subject to search at stadium gates.
Diapers and wipes must be in a clear bag, while diaper bags are prohibited. Blankets and additional items must be loosely carried or placed in an approved clear bag.
Metal detector screening and bag checks are mandatory, with no storage options available for prohibited items.
Bag Check facilities are located conveniently on the East and West sides of the stadium.
Prohibited items include coolers, briefcases, non-clear bags, luggage, and any bag exceeding the permissible size.
Metal Detection
To ensure the safety of all individuals within State Farm Stadium, thorough security measures are implemented. Upon entry, all attendees will undergo a comprehensive bag search and proceed through a metal detector or be subject to screening with a hand-held metal detector. This process is conducted to detect and deter the presence of prohibited items within the stadium premises.
