Nissan Stadium allows one clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag (12″ x 6″ x 12″ max) or a one-gallon clear resealable bag, plus one small clutch (4.5″ x 6.5″ or smaller). All other bags are prohibited. Skip the parking headaches and arrive relaxed with our Titans game taxi service, which drops you right at the stadium.
We’ve helped thousands of fans get to Nissan Stadium without the usual traffic stress. Here’s everything you need to know about what you can bring and how to get there the easy way.
What Bags Can You Bring to Nissan Stadium?
Nissan Stadium’s approved bag policy is straightforward. You’re allowed to bring:
Clear bags: One clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC tote bag no larger than 12″ x 6″ x 12″. The entire bag must be transparent so security can see the contents at a glance. Most stadium-approved clear bags sold online and at sporting goods stores meet this standard.
One-gallon storage bags: A standard one-gallon clear resealable plastic storage bag (like a Ziploc freezer bag) works perfectly and fits your phone and wallet.
Small clutches: A small clutch purse that doesn’t exceed 4.5″ x 6.5″ with or without a handle or strap. This bag doesn’t need to be clear, giving you one opaque option for valuables. Only one clutch per person.
You can carry one clear bag and one clutch, so you have room for everything you need for a full game or concert experience.
What Items Are Prohibited at Nissan Stadium?
Security turns away guests carrying prohibited bags every event. Leave these at home or in your car:
Backpacks, traditional purses, diaper bags (unless medically necessary), camera bags, binocular cases, fanny packs, cinch bags, luggage, coolers, and any bag larger than the clear bag dimensions listed above. Opaque tote bags, mesh bags, and printed pattern bags aren’t allowed even if they’re the right size.
Outside food and beverages are also restricted, with exceptions for sealed water bottles and medically necessary items. Weapons, illegal substances, and professional camera equipment are never permitted.
The stadium has no bag check or storage, so anything you bring that doesn’t meet the policy goes back to your vehicle. That’s another reason we love the water taxi option: store your belongings on the boat during the event if you prefer to travel light.
Are There Exceptions to the Clear Bag Rule?
Nissan Stadium makes reasonable accommodations for medical needs and families with young children.
Medical bags: Guests with medical conditions can bring necessary medical supplies in a separate clear bag, even if it exceeds the standard size limit. You may be asked to show the contents to security. Items like insulin kits, EpiPens, inhalers, and other essential medications are always allowed.
Diaper bags for infants: Parents with children two years old and under may bring a clear diaper bag. Keep it to necessities like diapers and bottles.
Service animals: Trained service animals are welcome. Emotional support animals require advance approval through the stadium’s Guest Services office.
When in doubt, contact Nissan Stadium directly at their main office before your event. Guest Services can clarify specific situations and help you plan ahead.

Tips for a Smooth Entry at Nissan Stadium
Show up 30–45 minutes before kickoff or showtime so security lines move quickly. Lines stay short when guests bring compliant bags, but delays stack up when people arrive with oversized purses or backpacks.
The less you carry, the faster you move through screening. Your phone and ID fit in a one-gallon bag—plus sunscreen if you need it.
Nashville weather shifts quickly. If rain’s in the forecast, bring a poncho in your clear bag. Umbrellas are allowed but can block views, so a compact rain jacket works better for crowded sections.
When thousands of fans all carry identical transparent totes, it’s easy to grab the wrong one. Write your name on a piece of paper and drop it inside, or use a permanent marker on an interior seam.
Stadium gates open two hours before Titans kickoff and 90 minutes before most concerts. Getting there when gates open means shorter lines, time to find your seats, and a chance to explore the concourse before the crowd arrives.
Frequently Asked Questions About Nissan Stadium Bag Policy
Can I bring a clear backpack to Nissan Stadium? No. Even if the backpack is completely transparent, backpacks of any kind aren’t allowed. Stick to the approved clear tote (12″ x 6″ x 12″) or a one-gallon plastic bag.
What if my bag is slightly bigger than 12 x 6 x 12 inches? Security measures bags at the gate. If yours exceeds the dimensions, you’ll be turned away. There’s no bag storage at the stadium, so you’d need to return it to your car or leave the event. Buy a stadium-approved bag in advance to avoid the hassle.
Are drawstring bags allowed? No. Drawstring bags, cinch sacks, and string backpacks don’t meet the clear bag policy even if they’re made of mesh or clear material.
Can I bring my camera? Small personal cameras fit in your clear bag and are allowed. Professional cameras with detachable lenses, tripods, and GoPro-style devices mounted on poles or sticks are prohibited.
What about binoculars? Binoculars are permitted, but the case isn’t unless it fits within the 4.5″ x 6.5″ clutch size limit. Carry your binoculars in your hands or in your clear bag.
Do kids need clear bags too? Yes. Every guest follows the same bag policy regardless of age, except for parents with infants (two and under) who may carry a clear diaper bag.
