New Bag Ban Prohibits Backpacks, Coolers At NFL Stadiums
http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2013/...-nfl-stadiums/
SAN DIEGO (CBSLA.com) — Are you ready for some football without all the baggage? KNX 1070′s Tom Reopelle reports the National Football League issued new rules Monday for which items fans can bring to cheer on their favorite team. Starting this preseason, purses, backpacks, and other large bags will be prohibited at all NFL stadiums nationwide, including The Queue, the home of the San Diego Chargers. The NFL Committee on Stadium Security voted unanimously in May to recommend the new bag policy (PDF), which includes purses larger than a clutch bag, coolers, briefcases, backpacks, fanny packs, cinch bags, seat cushions, luggage of any kind, computer bags and camera bags or any bag larger than the permissible size. Only bags that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12” x 6” x 12” – including one-gallon plastic freezer bags – will be permitted for fans at stadium plaza areas, stadium gates, or while awaiting entry into a stadium. Small clutch bags will also be permitted, officials said. Exceptions will be made for “medically necessary items after proper inspection at a gate designated for this purpose,” according to league officials. Chargers spokesman Bill Johnston said the policy is aimed in part at protecting venues after the bombings at the Boston Marathon in April. “It’s not what’s in the bag, it’s the bag itself,” Johnston said. Fans carrying bags that do not meet league criteria will be turned away from the stadium “well before they reach the gates,” officials said. The league also announced clear plastic tote bags with NFL team logos will be available through club merchandise outlets or at NFLshop.com/allclear. |

If the glove does not fit, then you must quit.

Is this really even an inconvenience?
Other than purses, how many people take bags into the stadium. And why? People barely have room to park their fatass without trying to bring luggage too.

This. I never understood people showing up to the gates like it's a semester away at college. It's a 3 hour game.

I'm eager for my first body cavity search by the parking volunteers!!
I wouldn't have an issue with it....except for when it rains or snows or sleets or is cold. Seems like a lot of people like to bring blankets etc to make the game tolerable. |

I actually have a call in to Arrowhead about bringing my e-cig in with me. It's made of metal so I'm sure it'll go off when they wand me at the gate. Waiting to hear back...
