Forget that oversized purse that could double as a weekend suitcase. Allstate Arena wants your bag to be a cute little sidekick, not a main character. The official policy says bags must be smaller than 12" x 12" x 6".
That’s roughly the size of a toaster, or a very chunky laptop case. If your bag is bigger than a standard piece of printer paper on its side, you risk getting turned away.
And here’s the kicker: backpacks are a huge no-no. Even that tiny Jansport you use for school? Forget it. They will ask you to take it back to your car or pay for a locker, which is a real buzzkill before the main event.
The Clear Bag Exception (For the Organized Ones)
Now, if you’re the type of person who loves a clear plastic tote—maybe you’re a stadium veteran or just a fan of transparency—you have more leeway. Allstate Arena allows clear bags up to 12" x 12" x 6" as well, but they’re much more forgiving with the contents.
The real magic happens with clutch purses. You can carry a small, non-clear clutch that’s around the size of your hand—roughly 4.5" x 6.5". That’s perfect for your phone, ID, and a lipstick.
Think of it this way: if you can’t fit a burrito and a water bottle in your bag at the same time, you’re probably fine. If you can pack a full picnic, you’re in trouble.
