SEC Football Bag Policies and What Each Stadium Lets In

Most SEC schools say they follow a conference clear bag policy for football: a clear bag up to 12 by 6 by 12 inches, a one-gallon bag or a small clutch. Rules on bottles, umbrellas and strollers still vary. We have verified 16 of the 16 SEC stadiums we cover.

Every stadium sets its own rules

We have not verified a league-wide SEC bag rule, so this page does not claim one. Places that host SEC games also host concerts and other events, and each publishes its own limits.

Among the 16 stadiums we have verified, the limits run from a small clutch of about 4 by 6 inches to bags 14 inches or more on a side, and the table below lists each one with its source.

Questions about SEC rules

  1. We have not verified one. Each stadium page shows what that venue's own policy says, with the source and the date we read it.

  2. We read each venue's own policy before showing a rule. The ones still marked have not been read yet, and we do not guess while they wait.

  3. Not always. The venues we have verified say their rules can change by event, so check the event page for your date.
