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.

Some people bring too much shit to the game and this will cut down on entry wait times. Good call.

The greatest travesty about this is that the NFL will ban bags and yet they will still allow Nickleback in the stadiums!!

Why do people pack like Diana Ross going on tour when they go to the stadium? It's half a day. Conceal your flask and you are good to go.

Total pussy.

So is it heated cushions you hate, or all seat cushions? Seems like there were thousands of people using them at these games. Damn near everybody had one when I went to Lambeau, and that was in September. I remember thinking it was kind of smart, since I didn't have one and that bench was fairly uncomfortable. BUT NO, they're all just pussies, because Zackipoo the SoccerVag says so!

And being scared shitless that every cushion might be packed with C4 by a terrorist is somehow manly, right?

You really should stick to pretending that the girls you pose for photos with actually **** you.

Oh, and as you're reading this, are you sitting on cushioned chair or a stone block? Ponder that, you pathetic tub of shit.

But chicks can bring their purse in. I even purchased a man bag that is EXACTLY the same as a purse as far as size, it is just made out of canvas and was like REAL STEEL on it. THey said it didn't qualify. Cuz I'm a dude.

I hear ya Rashish

But NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, some terrorist one who sucks the penis might create a microwave-heated seat cushion bomb, even thought it's never happened, so **** you, guy who pays our salaries, you get to freeze your ass off! Just drink more shitty $10 beer!

Update on @NFL bag policy: seat cushions allowed in stadium. Must be 1 piece foam or inflatable w/no pocket/material that can conceal items.
