How bag limits compare in Pennsylvania

Among the 13 verified venues, the bag rules we read were: Acrisure Stadium (clear 12 x 6 x 12 in, or 4.5 x 6.5 in), Lincoln Financial Field (one clear bag 12 x 6 x 12 in, plus clutch), PNC Park (one soft-sided bag, up to 16 x 16 x 8 in), Citizens Bank Park (clear 12 x 6 x 12 in, or 5 x 7 in clutch), Xfinity Mobile Arena (clutch 4.5 x 6.5 in, or x-rayed up to 14 x 14 x 6 in), PPG Paints Arena (no bags, wallet or wristlet about 4 x 6 x 1 in), Subaru Park (clear only, up to 14 x 14 x 6 in) and Beaver Stadium (clear 12 x 6 x 12 in, or wristlet 4 x 6 x 1 in). The table above lists the rest.

Questions about Pennsylvania venues

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