The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Pay attention to what you can bring
With a new stadium come questions
about what will and will not be allowed inside. For all public and ticketed events, security practices will abide by the NFL Clear Bag policy.
The NFL encourages fans not to bring any type of bags, but each person — including children — is allowed one large, clear bag and a small clutch.
Atlanta United encourages fans not to bring any type of bag and implements a clear bag policy for all home matches.
Here’s what security will allow in Mercedes-Benz:
Bags and totes that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12” by 6” by 12”
One-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziploc bag or similar)
Small clutch bags, approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap
Note that exceptions will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection at any gate. Diapers can be carried in a clear bag, as opposed to a traditional diaper bag.
Binoculars, cameras and smartphones are allowed as long as the item is not in its own bag.
Clear seat cushions and seat pads without pockets, zippers, compartments or covers are permitted. Blankets are allowed to be carried in.
The policy does not affect tailgating.
If a guest has an item that isn’t allowed in the stadium, four bag valet locations will be available for a fee near the entry gates. Prohibited items:
Purses larger than a clutch bag Coolers
Briefcases
Backpacks
Fanny packs
Cinch bags
Non-approved seat cushions, including large traditional seat cushions that have pockets, zippers, compartments or covers. You can have your cushion examined at the club guest services office
Luggage of any kind Computer bags
Camera bags
Any bag larger than the permissible size Fans carrying bags that do not meet the criteria will be turned away from the stadium well before they reach the gates.
