Bag rules side by side

These rows come from each Tampa Bay venue's own policy page.

    Bags larger than 12 x 12 x 12 inches are prohibited. Large bags go through an x-ray scanner, and for hockey games anything larger than 4 x 6 x 1.5 inches does. Medical and parenting bags over the size are permitted after additional search.

Bag storage at the verified venues

Raymond James Stadium: Storage lockers are available on site during all events, for a small fee, along Tom McEwen Boulevard just southeast of Gate Suzuki Marine. Items left unattended outside the gates are disposed of, and the stadium is not responsible for lost items.

Benchmark International Arena: The guide mentions an Item Check-In Area, and strollers can be checked at Guest Services across from Section 101. It says guests who exit for any reason cannot return.

Tropicana Field: The security page says there are no storage options for bags that do not comply with the clear bag policy, and that prohibited items will not be stored. Fans return them to a vehicle or throw them away.

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay: All-day lockers rent in the Morocco section near the entrance: standard 7.5 x 13 x 18 inches for 15 dollars, large for 20 dollars and jumbo for 25 dollars. One-time lockers at the major rides cost 4 dollars for two hours.
