Bank of America Stadium Bag Policy (2026)
Last verified: January 15, 2025 · How we verify
Official websiteBank of America Stadium is a large stadium seating 74,867 fans in Charlotte, NC, home to the Carolina Panthers of the NFL. The stadium hosts NFL games, concerts, and major events, making it one of the busiest event venues in the Charlotte area.
Like most NFL venues, Bank of America Stadium enforces a clear bag policy. All bags brought into the stadium 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.
