The NFL instituted a new policy that would limit the size and type of bags that can be brought into football stadiums, ABC reported Sunday.
Under the new policy, standard-size purses would be banned, but women can bring a small clutch no larger than a person’s hand. Large freezer bags are acceptable, but anything else must be made of a clear material and must not be larger than 12 x 6 x 12. The NFL will be selling its own version of this clear bag.
Camera bags, fanny packs, backpacks, coolers and luggage are also prohibited at stadiums as of this year.
NFL officials, according to ABC, say they have already listened to feedback and call the changes “a minor inconvenience” for most fans, but largely produces a “win-win” situation of increased safety and quicker entry into the stadium at security checkpoints.
