Can You Bring a fanny pack to BMO Field?
Yes — but it must be clear. BMO Field requires transparent bags no larger than 12"×6"×12" for all events. A clear fanny pack fits this requirement perfectly and is one of the most popular MLS stadium-approved choices. Non-clear fanny packs will not be allowed in, regardless of size. MLS venues follow league-wide bag guidelines, so the rules below are consistent across the league's other stadiums as well. Look for a clear fanny pack with a waterproof zipper — they're widely available and inexpensive.
