How bag limits compare in Maryland

Among the 5 verified venues, the bag rules we read were: M&T Bank Stadium (clear 12 x 6 x 12 in, or 4.5 x 6.5 in), Northwest Stadium (clear 12 x 6 x 12 in, plus a hand-sized clutch), Oriole Park at Camden Yards (one bag: clear 12 x 6 x 12 in, or 5 x 7 in clutch), SECU Stadium (clear 12 x 6 x 12 in, 1-gallon bag or clutch) and Merriweather Post Pavilion (up to 13 x 15 in).

Questions about Maryland venues

  1. Not by default. The bag rules we have verified in Maryland differ, so read the table above. A small clear bag is the easier choice if you visit more than one venue, but read each page.

  2. No. We add venues in waves, starting with the places people search for most. A venue we have not read yet says so, and we show no rule for it.

  3. Often they do. A game, a concert and a festival at the same venue can have different limits, so each venue page says which events its source covers.
