Every rule at Gillette Stadium
An item that is not listed is not mentioned in the official pages we checked. Each row links to the page its rule came from.
Bag policy in detail

It covers all ticketed events. The page does not name backpacks. Bags of any kind are prohibited except the three permitted types, so only a clear bag within 12 x 12 x 6 inches would qualify. A small wristlet or handheld wallet up to 6.5 x 4.5 inches is allowed, with or without a handle or strap. Other purses are bags and are not permitted unless clear and within the size limit.
