Wells Fargo Center Bag Policy (2026)
Last verified: January 15, 2025 · How we verify
Official websiteWells Fargo Center is one of the larger arenas in its league, holding 20,478 fans in Philadelphia, PA, home to both the Philadelphia 76ers (NBA) and the Philadelphia Flyers (NHL). The arena hosts NBA and NHL games throughout the season, making it one of the busiest event venues in the Philadelphia area.
Like most NBA venues, Wells Fargo 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. If you arrive with a non-compliant bag, Wells Fargo Center offers locker or bag check services near the entrance.
