First up: the bag itself. Kinnick, like most Big Ten stadiums now, follows the clear bag policy. Your bag must be transparent. I’m talking crystal-clear, like a nervous freshman’s conscience.
You can bring a clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag. It can’t be bigger than 12” x 6” x 12”. Think of it as a glorified lunchbox. If your bag looks like it could smuggle a baby goat, it’s too big.
Small clutch purses? Yes, you can cheat a little. A small clutch—no bigger than 4.5” x 6.5”—is allowed. That’s basically a glorified wallet. Sorry, no room for your emotional support hot dog.
What About Diaper Bags?
Parents, I hear you. “But I have a tiny human with even tinier needs!” Fair point. Diaper bags are allowed, but they must be a single-compartment style. No fancy organizer pockets, no secret snack lairs.
You’ll also need a child with you. Don’t try the “emotional support toddler” routine. Security has heard it before, and they are not amused.
