Many believe sports leagues like the NFL just started taking safety measures after mass shootings. However, that's not the case. The NFL actually began implementing safety and security practices after 9/11. Some may think the clear bag rule is a nuisance, but our safety means everything.
Don't worry, you don't have to buy a huge clear stadium tote for college or professional games. Clear stadium bags come in all shapes and sizes. Cinch bags, fanny packs, tote bags, backpacks, and diaper bags are the most popular.

According to the NFL, they cannot exceed 12" x 6" x 12."
Do I Have to Purchase a Clear Bag?
Nope! If you'd like, bring a Ziploc freezer bag not exceeding one gallon.
I Don't Have Non-Compliant Items in My Bag, I'm Going to Ignore This Rule.
HAHA. Good luck. Stadiums are encouraged to check non-compliant bags, but that doesn't mean it's guaranteed that they will do a proper inspection, so you don't have to get rid of your bag before entering the stadium. Imagine missing out on a game because you decided you weren't throwing away your Louis Vuitton bag. If you absolutely have to bring small personal items you don't want to be seen in a clear bag, use a small clutch.
According to the NFL Stadium Bag Policy, here are the compliant bags. A good rule of thumb for these is to make sure the bag is about the size of a hand.
Clear Handbags
1. Cambound Clear Crossbody Bag
This stadium-approved crossbody is cute! It meets the NFL's guidelines, so you don't have to worry about bringing in a non-compliant bag. If all you plan on bringing are the essentials — your phone, keys, wallet, and chapstick — this is the game-day-ready bag for you. The bag is 9.5 x 9.1 inches. You can't beat that price!

2. Coromay Clear Purse
Who says clear plastic bags aren't cute!? This bestseller is for the fashionistas who thought clear backpacks in middle school were ugly. Look, clear bag companies have stepped their game up. It's a great size for a pair of sunglasses and a cell phone. Dimensions are 7.1 x 4.5 x 3.1 inches.
Take it to tailgate or a football game.
3. Cambond Clear Stadium Tote Bag
This is ideal to use as a diaper bag because this is the largest bag allowed. I'm sure you could fit enough diapers to last the entire game, along with a small pack of wipes. If you need more storage, ask another family member to bring in an extra diaper bag if you need to bring more items for your baby. The dimensions are 12 x 6 x 12 inches.
4. Hoxis Clear Saddle Cross Body Bag
Thank God for faux leather. I don't want to sacrifice style completely. The dimensions are 9.4 x 6.7 x 3.5 inches.

6. SharPlus Clear PVC Crossbody

7. Eland Clear Tote Bag
This clear hologram tote bag is cute! If you have someone in your life who is not a fan of clear bags, they will feel proud to carry this one. I'm sure everyone will be complimenting your clear tote. The dimensions are 12 x 6 x 12 inches.
8. Magicbags Clear Crossbody Purse
A great purse bag for women if you're bringing the bare minimum! Unless you have to pack a diaper bag or medical items, I highly recommend only bringing a few items. The dimensions are 9.7 x 7.5 inches.
9. Heavy-Duty Clear Bag
Reviews on this transparent bag are awesome! The heavy-duty plastic is a hit for those who need to pack more than a phone and wallet. It has a sturdy zipper closure and plenty of pockets. The dimensions are 12 x 12 x 6 inches.

It's waterproof, y'all! Let's also not forget that the pink lining is cute. The dimensions are 10 x 2.5 x 7 inches.

You can fit an entire lunch in it! If you work somewhere with strict bag rules, this makes the perfect lunch box. The dimensions are 8 x 8 x 4.5 inches.
Fanny Packs

This fanny pack is as simple as it gets. It still gets the job done though. Throw your keys and phone in the bag, so your hands are free for a nice cold beer and hot dog.
