[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to the concert last minute yesterday.  Friends had extra tickets.  I didn't see the ticket and had NO idea about a bag policy as I am not a baseball fan.  [b]Are we now expected to read up on all stadium bag policies before going anywhere?[/b] I left my bag at home because I didn't want to get mugged walking back to my car but would have been stuck otherwise, because it would not occur to me that a concert would prohibit bags.  Search them, sure, but ban them?  Now I will assume that is the rule at all places and plan for that (I do own a clear stadium bag for college football).  NO way would a 13 year old be expected to think of this.[/quote]

Um, yes. It takes a couple of minutes. Or be OK with having to leave your bag.[/quote]

NP here. +1.  I've been reading the venue bag policies for years. Ever since the Ariana Grande London attack, sports and concert venues have been enforcing strict bag policies and some don't allow bags AT ALL. Some allow fanny packs, some it has to literally be a clear zip lock bag, some a wristlet, some one of those clear, plastic stadium bags, etc.

In the good old days I would literally bring a cooler bag full of food into Nats Park. I once held my kid's birthday party there and walked in with a huge Papa Johns pizza and a dozen Georgetown cupcakes. But those days are over. Same for Cap One Arena, FedEx, etc.  It's always on you to check.[/quote]

Whenever the Nats started having attendance in the stadium after Covid (I guess that was 2021 because I don't remember going to any games in 2020)... you could bring in so much food "due to Covid protocols". My son took in a full bag from Shake Shack (burger & fries) plus a milkshake. It was allowed because it was a food bag. (I think the clear bag policy also started in 2021).  Nats Park isn't allowing beverages from outside vendors this year, unless sealed (unopened water bottle, etc.) He had a bit left in his milkshake earlier this year and had to toss it before entry.
