Footprint Center Bag Policy (2026)
Last verified: January 15, 2025 · How we verify
Official websiteFootprint Center is a full-size arena seating 18,055 in Phoenix, AZ, home to the Phoenix Suns of the NBA. The arena hosts NBA basketball and other major events, making it one of the busiest event venues in the Phoenix area.
Like most NBA venues, Footprint Center 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.
