I have a question about the NFL's bag policy and am hoping I'm not the only LV lover and diehard football fan! I haven't been to a game in a couple of years and my husband and I have some tickets this year. Just wondering what bags any ladies have brought with them and how strict they are on sizes. I was hoping to bring my Twin GM as a clutch, but see that it's slightly larger than the NFL's clutch dimensions listed on their website (which isn't even large enough to hold an iPhone!). Hopefully there are a few of you out there that have some experiences to share! Thanks!

It's been a couple of years for me too. Last time I went, I bought my mini pochette. Check on your stadium website but I believe all bags now have to be clear and see through.
You can still take small clutch/pouchette size without it clear.
If you need to take a larger bag it must be the clear. But can't be bigger than 12x12
I live in Dallas and they are pretty strict with this rule, not sure about other cities.

In Seattle they seemed to inconsistently follow this rule. I would have loved to bring my pochette but it didn't fit within the dimensions, so I downsized my wallet and brought mini pochette. My iphone still fit in it but it was obnoxious to get it in and out so I ended up leaving it in my pocket. Go Seahawks!
I should have clarified. The bag policy states that small clutches, a one gallon clear plastic bag, or approved NFL logo merchandise are acceptable. The diagram provided has a size of 4.5" x 6.5". I don't need much, but really hate putting my phone in my pocket (for one, it doesn't really fit in women's pants pockets and I don't feel it's very secure). So am really just curious what others have experienced, realizing every stadium enforces the rules differently. Thanks for the responses so far!
Do you have the iPhone 6? Do you think you would have been turned away with a pochette?
Does an iPhone 6 fit in a mini pouchette? I don't have one, but am thinking it's probably too big. Couldn't I just stick my slightly oversized clutch in a clear plastic bag to get through the door!Or do they limit what can be brought in the ziploc bag?
It will fit iPhone 6 but weird & tight to get it out. Especially with other things inside. I've never tried the clutch inside clear bag
I think if it's slightly oversized you could swing it & get through security. Super oversized they might make you take it to the car. In Dallas they don't have a measuring station, it's just eyeballing things.
Die hard 49ers fan but I don't take any LV to the game. Why don't you get the clear cross body with your team logo on it.

I saw someone try to do this last year and it did not work for them - They still had to abide by the rules of our stadium . I'm entering my 13th year as a PSL/season ticket owner of the Carolina Panthers so I've seen all sorts of rule changes. However, the bag policy is an league wide rule. If you need to take a lot, your best best is buy the clear team bag (they have to be pretty cheap - PSL owners were given free bags the year the policy was instituted) and put your bag inside that.
I don't take a bag to games. We have an express line for fans without bags to be searched - I want to get into the stadium as quickly as possible. And so many women violate the policy as many only go to a game a season so they are not aware of the rules. I can't deal with that.
I have an iPhone 6 in a really slim case and it fits but it's annoying. I don't know if I would have been willing to risk not being allowed to take my LV in so I didn't want to risk it. My friend had to bag check her bag because it was too big. That would have given me anxiety.
Go to your local sports store and pick up a cheap bag with your team on it [emoji6]
I looked on the website just now (NFL shop) and the totes are all sold out for my team (Vikings). Hopefully they get more in. I really just want to bring my phone, empreinte clues as a wallet and lipgloss, but prefer something with a wrist strap or shoulder strap. I don't live in the Twin Cities metro so no local team shop that has the official team merchandise, which I think it has to be???
