Camp Randall Stadium Bag Policy

Last updated on March 22nd, 2024 at 07:18 pm

Camp Randall Stadium is home to the University of Wisconsin Badgers college football team. The bag policy at the venue permits fans to bring one clear tote bag into the stadium that does not exceed 12″ x 6″ x 12″. Badgers’ fans can also bring in a small clutch purse or similar type of bag (even if it is not clear) no larger than 6.5″ x 4.5″.

 

Here is the Camp Randall Stadium bag policy guide for your next Wisconsin Badgers college football game. I also share my bag recommendation on what to bring to the game.

Approved Bags

Most college football stadiums also have a clear bag policy. Below are the different types of bags the security team allows fans to bring into the college football venue for game day.

 

• A clear plastic tote bag no bigger than 12″ x 6″ x 12″.
• Small clutch purses and wristlets no larger than 4.5″ x 6.5″. These don’t need to be clear and can accompany a clear plastic bag.
• A clear plastic freezer bag
• Seat cushion no wider than 16″
• Diaper bags that are with a child. If possible, put whatever you need into a clear tote bag.
• Medical bags / ADA bags. As a note, these bags tend to go through a thorough screening process at the gate

 

My Clear Bag Recommendation + My Recommendation

I bring my clear fanny pack (11″ x 6.5″ x 5.9″) to college football games for a few reasons. First, the bag itself is clear, so it is an approved bag for venues to come in with fans. Second, the size of it is below the size limit for stadiums, so there is no problem there. Third, the fanny pack that I have is not bulky, so it is easy to carry or wear as I walk around the stadium. I’ve never had an issue getting this bag through the bag check at stadiums, so I recommend it to anyone looking to bring a bag to the game.

 

Below is my video of me explaining what I put into the bag in more detail.

 

 

 

How Does the Camp Randall Stadium Security Team Review Bags?

Fans arriving at Camp Randall Stadium for a Badgers game will undergo a metal detector screening before scanning their ticket for entry. Any fan with a bag with them will also go through a security review. The bag inspection reviews the bag type, size, and content. Also, the check may require removing certain items inside your bag to help with the examination.

 

What are the Prohibited Items that Fans Can’t Bring into Camp Randall Stadium?

Fans heading to Camp Randal Stadium for a college football game should understand that certain things can’t come into the stadium with them. Some things the security team won’t allow you to bring into the stadium are below. Be sure to visit the team’s official carry-in policy to get the most up-to-date information on the prohibited items.

 

• Clear bags larger than 12″ x 6″ 12″
• Non-clear bags that are not for medical reasons. For example, traditional backpacks, mesh bags, camera bags, fanny packs, and coolers can’t come into the venue for a game
• Outside food and drinks
• Strollers
• Umbrellas
• Laptops
• Selfie sticks
• Noisemakers
• Weapons of any kind
• Flags
• Inflatables

 

Is There a Bag Check or Locker Storage Area at Camp Randall Stadium?

Camp Randall Stadium has no official locker storage area to leave your bag if it can’t enter the stadium. Therefore, if you run into any issues at the entrance with your bag, you will be asked to leave it in your car before getting back in line. After leaving your bag in your vehicle, you can return to the line and go through another security check before scanning your ticket.

 

One suggestion to limit any issues at the gate is to leave any non-clear bag in your car before walking to the stadium for a game. Coolers and traditional backpacks are permitted in the parking lots for tailgating before a game. However, they can’t enter the stadium, so plan to leave those items in your car after tailgating.
