Short answer
M&T Bank Stadium follows the NFL clear bag policy: a clear bag up to 12 by 6 by 12 inches, a one-gallon bag, or a small clutch or belt bag up to 4.5 by 6.5 inches. Food is allowed in a clear bag, but beverages, backpacks, tote bags and umbrellas are banned. Blankets and tablets are allowed.
Every rule at M&T Bank 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
Only these bags are allowed: a clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bag up to 12 x 6 x 12 inches, hand-carried or with a shoulder strap, a one-gallon clear freezer bag, and a small clutch or belt bag up to 4.5 x 6.5 inches, carried separately or inside a clear bag. The rule covers all stadium events. Backpacks are on the prohibited list, and so are tote bags and grocery-type bags. Purses larger than 4.5 x 6.5 inches, with or without a strap, are prohibited. A small clutch within that size is allowed.

Food and drink
Beverages, plastic and glass bottles, cans, containers and flasks are prohibited. Food is allowed if it is brought in a clear plastic bag. Coolers, thermoses and hard foam beverage holders are prohibited.
Cameras and electronics
Small still cameras are permitted at Ravens games: pocket-sized digital cameras with a zoom lens of 6 inches or shorter, and larger 35mm cameras no longer than 3 inches. Video cameras are strictly prohibited, and so are camera cases. Pocket-sized digital cameras with a zoom lens of 6 inches or shorter are permitted. Camera tripods, monopods and selfie sticks are prohibited. iPads and tablets are on the permitted list. The pages do not mention power banks. Battery-heated clothing is allowed if the battery is removed or visible for inspection. The pages do not mention drones and laptops.
Strollers and family items
An exception may be made for medically necessary items after inspection at a designated gate. Diaper bags, medical bags and medications go through the Family Medical Lanes at Gates A, B, C and D. The pages do not mention strollers.
Umbrellas, blankets and comfort items
Umbrellas are prohibited. Blankets, tarps, coats and jackets are on the permitted list. Seat cushions without a back, zipper or pocket are allowed, and so are inflatable ones. Cushions with a back or pocket, or a foam core thicker than 1 inch, are prohibited.
Signs, flags and fan items
Banners are permitted if they are not commercial, political, offensive or in poor taste, and do not block views or stadium signage. Banners and flags cannot be on a pole. Flags are allowed under the banner rule, and flag and banner poles are prohibited. Binoculars are permitted. Binocular cases are prohibited.
Medical needs and accessibility
An exception may be made for medically necessary items after inspection at a designated gate. Guests with diaper bags, medical bags or medications use the Family Medical Lanes at MedStar Health Gate A, Gate B, Gate C and Southwest Gate D.
Security screening and arrival
Re-entry into the stadium is not permitted, and the club level has its own scan-out rule. Electronic cigarettes, whistles, noisemakers and weapons are prohibited.
Bag storage and lockers
The pages do not describe bag storage. They point to a bicycle parking area behind the Bud Light Bash tents by Southwest Gate D.
