Can I bring in a baby bottle?
Yes, you may bring in a baby bottle but diaper bags are not permitted, a clear bag must be used.
How can I get through screening quickly?
Guests are strongly encouraged to leave bags and non-essential items at home or in their vehicles. Bags and extra items take more time to search and slow down the screening process. Guests do not need to remove jackets, coins, belts, jewelry, watches, etc. Follow these steps and screening should take only a few seconds.
How many bags can each person carry into a venue?
Each guest can enter Scott Stadium with one large clear bag (12″ x 12″ x 6″ or one-gallon clear plastic freezer bag) and an approved purse, clutch or wallet (no larger than 4.5″ x 6.5″). The clutch or wallet can be carried separately from the clear bag and will be subject to search.
What items are prohibited?
Backpacks and large bags, outside food and beverages (including empty bottles), and weapons of any kind are among the prohibited items.
Do I have to put everything I’m carrying into the permissible bags?
No. Fans are limited only to the type of bags carried into the stadium, not items that they may normally bring to a game that fit in pockets or clutch bags (e.g., keys, makeup, feminine products, comb, phone, wallet, credit cards). Fans may carry a blanket or extra jacket over their arms, and binoculars and/or camera around their necks or in their hands without the case. Fans may also use the clear bag and clutch to carry these items and other permissible items. Every member of the family may carry in a permissible bag. Only prohibited items cannot be carried in clear bags into venues.
May fans carry cameras, binoculars, smart phones or tablets separately from what they put in a clear bag?

What will happen if I show up with a prohibited bag?
Guests that arrive to Scott Stadium the entrances with prohibited bags will not be permitted to enter the venue. In these cases, prohibited bags will need to be returned to guests’ vehicles and/or residence. Guests can then return with an approved clear bag and gain entry into the venue after successful completion of the screening process.
