Bag, bottle and food rules in Tennessee

These rows come from each Tennessee venue's own policy page.

Bag policy

  • Ascend AmphitheaterConditional

    Clear plastic, vinyl or PVC tote bags up to 12 x 6 x 12 inches are allowed, and so are small clutch bags up to 6 x 9 inches, which do not need to be clear. No other bags of any type are allowed.

  • Bridgestone ArenaConditional

    Bags larger than 12 x 12 x 6 inches are prohibited. Bags between 6 x 4 x 1.5 and 12 x 12 x 6 inches, clear ones included, get x-ray and visual inspection, and smaller ones use express lanes. Diaper and medical bags are allowed with x-ray, and the arena strongly discourages bringing bags.

Every venue we cover in Tennessee

8 venues in Tennessee 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 Tennessee

Among the 8 verified venues, the bag rules we read were: Nissan Stadium (clear 12 x 12 x 6 in, or 4.5 x 6.5 in), FedExForum (clear up to 6 x 8 x 2 in), Bridgestone Arena (up to 12 x 12 x 6 in, x-rayed), Ascend Amphitheater (clear tote 12 x 6 x 12 in, or 6 x 9 in), GEODIS Park (clear up to 12 x 12 x 6 in, clutch 4.5 x 6.5), FirstBank Stadium (clear 12 x 6 x 12 in, 1-gallon bag, plus a clutch), Neyland Stadium (one clear bag plus a small clutch) and Thompson-Boling Arena (clear 12 x 6 x 12 in or 1-gallon bag, plus clutch).

Questions about Tennessee venues

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