Every venue we cover in Massachusetts

6 venues in Massachusetts are on our list. A verified page shows its bag rule here, and the others say they are still being checked.

How bag limits compare in Massachusetts

Among the 6 verified venues, the bag rules we read were: Fenway Park (single-compartment, 12 x 12 x 6 in), Gillette Stadium (clear 12 x 12 x 6 in, or 6.5 x 4.5 in), TD Garden (up to 6 x 4 x 1.5 in, clear or not), Boston College Alumni Stadium (clutch 8x5x2 in, clear bag 12x12x6 in), Six Flags New England (not mentioned) and Xfinity Center (clear 12 x 6 x 12 in plus a 6 x 9 in clutch).

Questions about Massachusetts venues

  1. Not by default. The bag rules we have verified in Massachusetts 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.
