So, here’s your homework: measure your bag before you leave the house. Actually measure it. Then put it inside a clear bag if you’re nervous. You’ll breeze through the gates while I’m still apologizing to security for my strap obsession.
Is the policy annoying? Absolutely. But it’s also the price of seeing Judge smack a homer in person. So pack light, pack clear, and for the love of all that is holy, leave the backpack at home. Your future self will thank you—even if your present self is bitter about the tote bag rule.
Now go enjoy the game. I’ll be in the bleachers, holding my perfectly-sized, non-offensive bag like a trophy. We earned it.
