Amerant Bank Arena Bag Policy (2026)
Last verified: January 15, 2025 · How we verify
Official websiteAmerant Bank Arena is a full-size arena seating 19,250 in Sunrise, FL, home to the Florida Panthers of the NHL. The arena hosts NHL hockey and other events, making it one of the busiest event venues in the Sunrise area.
Like most NHL venues, Amerant Bank Arena enforces a clear bag policy. All bags brought into the arena must be transparent plastic, vinyl, or PVC no larger than 12"×6"×12". Each fan may also bring one small non-clear clutch or wristlet (up to 4.5"×6.5"). To avoid any issues at the gate, bring a clear bag that meets the size requirements (12"×6"×12" maximum) and arrive early — security lines move faster when bags are transparent. A one-gallon clear zip-lock bag is an inexpensive alternative if you need a quick solution.
