Short answer
Lloyd Noble Center allows one clear 12 by 6 by 12 inch bag, a one-gallon freezer bag, and a small non-clear bag or clutch, but the two pages disagree on its size, 4.5 by 6.5 or 5.5 by 7.5 inches. Empty clear bottles under 17 ounces are allowed. Outside food and drink, strollers, umbrellas and laptops are banned.
