R&B Tour Bag Policy 2026 - Every Stadium, Every Rule
Why This Page Exists
Almost every stadium on The R&B Tour 2026 enforces a clear bag policy, but the exact rules differ by venue, and Raymond James Stadium in Tampa allows no bags at all beyond a small clutch. Getting turned away at the gate with the wrong bag is a real thing that happens. This page puts every venue's exact rules in one place so you don't find out the hard way.

Venues That Break From the NFL Standard
Most stops use the NFL rule of one clear bag up to 12x6x12 inches plus a small clutch. These venues differ, so check your bag before you leave home:
- Raymond James Stadium (Tampa): No-bag policy. One clutch up to 4.5x6.5 inches, and clear totes are refused.
- Allegiant Stadium (Las Vegas): Fanny packs and backpacks are on the prohibited list, clear ones included.
- JMA Wireless Dome (Syracuse): Fanny packs, backpacks and mesh bags are banned, and there's no bag check.
- Rogers Stadium (Toronto): Every backpack is refused. Bags over 6x9 inches must be clear.
- Caesars Superdome (New Orleans): The NFL policy bans clear fanny packs, so a clear tote is the safer pick.
- Lucas Oil Stadium (Indianapolis): Its guide says fanny packs are not allowed. Small compact umbrellas are fine under your seat.
- Williams-Brice Stadium (Columbia): Only athletics rules are posted, and they ban fanny packs and umbrellas.
- Hard Rock Stadium (Miami): Fanny packs are allowed only if they fit the 4.5x6.5 inch clutch size.
- M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore): Small belt bags are allowed within the 4.5x6.5 inch clutch size, and umbrellas are not.
- Alamodome (San Antonio): Its two policy pages disagree on clutch size and on fanny packs, so a plain clear tote is the safe choice.
Stadium-Approved Clear Bags for the R&B Tour
Your clear bag needs to look good AND pass security. Custom-name clear fanny packs on the shop page are clear PVC, smaller than the 12x6x12 NFL limit, and fit many venues. Skip them for Tampa, Indianapolis, Columbia, New Orleans and Arlington, where fanny packs are refused, and for Miami unless the pack fits the clutch size.

Shop Stadium Style BagsBag Policy Questions
What size clear bag is allowed at the R&B Tour?
Most venues use the standard NFL policy: 12 inches wide x 6 inches tall x 12 inches deep for clear bags. You can also carry a small clutch no larger than 4.5 x 6.5 inches. Check the table above for venue-specific exceptions.
Can I bring a fanny pack to the R&B Tour?
At many venues, yes, if it's fully clear PVC or vinyl and 12x6x12 inches or smaller. SoFi, State Farm, Paycor, Mercedes-Benz and Levi's all list clear fanny packs as allowed. Lucas Oil, Williams-Brice, AT&T, Allegiant and the JMA Wireless Dome ban them, the Superdome's NFL policy bars clear ones, Hard Rock only allows packs within clutch size, and Raymond James in Tampa allows only a small clutch.
Can I bring a small purse or wristlet?
Yes. Each ticket holder can carry one small clutch or wristlet with or without a strap, maximum 4.5 inches x 6.5 inches. This is in addition to your clear bag. It doesn't have to be clear but it will be searched.
What if my bag gets rejected at the gate?
you'll be asked to return it to your vehicle. There are no bag check or storage services at most NFL stadiums. This means a long walk back to your car, potentially missing the opener, and then walking back in. Verify your bag before you leave home.
