Straight up: Enterprise Center follows the clear bag policy that’s become the standard at most big venues. Think of it as the fashion equivalent of a traffic cone—functional, not fabulous. You can bring a clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag that’s no larger than 12" x 6" x 12". That’s roughly the size of a small tote bag, but see-through, so everyone can admire your gum wrappers and hand sanitizer.
If you’re a purse person? You can still bring a small clutch—but only if it’s no bigger than 4.5" x 6.5". That’s basically the size of your hand, or a very smug envelope. Anything bigger, and they’ll send you back to your car or to the nearest “bag locker” (yes, those exist outside the venue, but they cost money and mood).
What About Backpacks? (Spoiler: They’re a Hard No)
Backpacks? Nope. Even the cute little ones that toddlers wear to daycare? Nope. The official rule says “no backpacks of any size,” and trust me, they mean it. I once saw a guy argue with security for five minutes over a fanny pack worn as a chest bag—still got turned away. If you want to bring a bag that sits on your back, it must be clear and within the size limit. Otherwise, leave it at home or in the trunk.

And here’s where it gets tricky: drawstring bags are also a no-go unless they’re clear. Even if it’s tiny and holds one water bottle, security treats them like contraband. So if you’re planning to bring a “just in case” hoodie, you’ll need to wear it or stuff it in a partner’s clear bag.
