Here’s the deal, plain and simple: Comerica Center is strictly clear bag only for anything larger than a clutch. I mean, they’re not messing around. If your bag isn’t see-through, you’re basically a walking security risk in their eyes.
What counts as okay? A clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag that’s 12” x 6” x 12” or smaller. Think of it as a glorified fishbowl for your stuff. And yes, you can also bring a small clutch—like, really small—up to 4.5” x 6.5”. That’s basically a wallet with a strap.
So, if you were planning to bring that vintage leather tote your grandma gave you? Leave it in the car. It’s a hard pass, no exceptions.
What About Backpacks? (Spoiler: Nope)
Let’s just rip off the Band-Aid now: no backpacks allowed. Not even the cute mini ones that barely hold a water bottle. Comerica Center treats backpacks like they’re full of contraband. And if you try to sneak one in? You’ll be walking back to your car faster than you can say “but I’ve got snacks.”
Same goes for diaper bags—unless you’re with a kid. And even then, they’re subject to intense scrutiny. So, if you’re bringing a little one, pack light. Maybe just a diaper and a prayer.
