Citi Field bag policy
Independent guide. Not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Citi Field or its teams. Check Citi Field's current rules before you go.
Quick answer
- Clear bag required? No. Bags that exceed 16 x 16 x 8 in are not allowed.
- Backpacks: all backpacks are prohibited regardless of size or style, except totally clear backpacks with no obscured interior pockets.
- Accommodations: when medical equipment cannot fit in an approved bag, exceptions can be made for backpacks used for ADA, medical or nursing reasons; ask the Security Supervisor at your entry gate.
- Lockers: temporary third-party paid lockers (price not stated), not a bag check inside the park.
- Check currency: the page reads like an older announcement, so confirm the rules before you go.
Venue security makes the final call at the gate. This guide repeats the venue's rules and never guarantees entry.

Double-check before you go
The page's wording reads like an older announcement ('are now prohibited'), so its currency is uncertain. Treat the answers as a starting point and confirm before you go.

Games, concerts and other events
The page does not cover other events. The site has separate concert-series pages that we did not use.
Exceptions and accessibility
Exceptions can be made for backpacks used for ADA/medical/nursing reasons, when the equipment cannot be stored or carried in an approved bag; see the Security Supervisor at your entry gate before each game. Backpacks bought inside the park are allowed that day only; non-backpack-style diaper bags are allowed within size.
If your bag is not allowed
There is no bag check inside Citi Field. Temporary third-party paid lockers are available from two hours before first pitch to one hour after the game. The page does not state a price.
Other things to know
Purses, totes, drawstring bags, messenger bags and small soft-sided coolers are allowed up to 16 x 16 x 8 in. One sealed soft plastic water bottle of 20 oz or less and one sealed juice box are allowed, not frozen. Laptops and tablets are allowed.
