Can You Bring a purse to The Anthem?
Partially — The Anthem requires clear bags for most items, but each fan is also allowed to bring one small clutch or wristlet no larger than 4.5"×6.5" that does not need to be clear. This is the standard "one small clutch" exception used at most professional venues. Larger purses and standard handbags are not permitted inside. The clutch is meant for essentials like your ID, phone, and card — not a full-size bag.
