Guides to Clear Bags, Bag Sizes and What to Pack for Events
Four short guides cover the questions we get most: what a clear bag policy means, how big a 12x6x12 bag is, how limits differ by league, and what to pack for a concert. Each one is built from verified venue pages with the source linked, and carries a named author and the date it was checked.

Start with the clear bag guide if a bag is what worries you. Each guide links to the venue pages behind it.

What counts as clear, what size passes, which small bag is allowed beside it and what to do if yours does not fit.

12x6x12 bag size guide
How big it is in inches, centimeters and liters, how it compares with other limits and how to measure your bag.
- Guide
Bag size by league

What to bring to a concert
A packing list built from real venue rules, item by item, with the places the rules disagree.
What is coming next
Two more guides are planned: fanny pack and belt bag rules, and bag storage near stadiums. We write a guide only when we have verified venues to build it from, so they follow the venue checks.
Every guide shows the sources it rests on and the date they were read. The method is on the how we verify page.
