Every rule at Lincoln Financial Field
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
Fans can carry one bag: a clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bag up to 12 x 6 x 12 inches, or a one-gallon clear freezer bag. A small clutch up to 4.5 x 6.5 inches can come in with one of the clear options. Backpacks and book bags are on the list of prohibited bags, and the page names no clear backpack exception. Purses larger than a clutch bag, meaning over 4.5 x 6.5 inches, are prohibited. A small clutch is allowed along with a clear bag.
Prohibited bags include purses larger than a clutch, coolers, briefcases, backpacks, fanny packs, cinch bags, luggage, seat cushions, computer bags, camera bags and binocular cases.
