Last updated on October 16th, 2023 at 02:45 pm

SeatGeek Stadium is home to the Chicago Red Stars NWSL, Chicago Hounds MLR, and Chicago Fire MLS Next Pro teams at 7000 S Harlem Ave, Bridgeview, IL 60455. The bag policy at SeatGeek Stadium allows single-compartment bags that don’t exceed 14″ x 14″ x 6″ to enter the stadium. However, traditional backpacks, coolers, and computer bags can’t come into the stadium with fans.

 

Here is the complete SeatGeek Stadium Bag Policy guide for your next soccer game, rugby match, or event.

 

How Does the SeatGeek Stadium Security Team Review Bags?

Fans arriving at SeatGeek Stadium for a game or event will undergo a metal detector screening at the entrance before entering the arena. Fans with a bag will go through a comprehensive inspection check at the gate. The bag inspection reviews the type of bag you have, the content inside of it, and if it exceeds 14″ x 14″ x 6″. Remember, single-compartment bags can enter the stadium, but traditional backpacks are prohibited.

 

Buy a clear single-compartment bag for your next soccer game or rugby match! While SeatGeek Stadium doesn’t have a clear bag policy, bringing one to the venue will result in a faster bag check at the gate. Below are the different types of bags fans can bring into the stadium for a game.

 

• Medical bags and diaper bags that don’t exceed 14″ x 14″ x 6″
• Single-compartment bags like fanny packs, tote bags, and drawstring bags
• A clear ziplock or freezer bag
• A clear tote bag or something similar

 

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

Fans heading to SeatGeek Stadium for a game should understand that the security team won’t allow certain items to enter with them. Some things that fans can’t bring into the arena are below. Visit the A-Z guide of SeatGeek Stadium for the complete list of prohibited items.

 

• Bags larger than 14″ x 14″ x” 6″
• Backpacks
• Laptop bags
• Briefcases
• Luggage bags
• Coolers
• Weapons of any kind
• Aerosol cans
• Outside food and drinks
• Selfie sticks
• Animals not for ADA purposes

 

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

There is no official bag check or locker storage area at SeatGeek Stadium for fans to use if they can’t bring their bag into the arena. Therefore, you must return your bag to your car and leave it there.

 

If you plan on tailgating in the parking lots before a game, prepare to leave any bags and coolers in your car before walking to the entrance. The security team will not allow coolers and backpacks into the stadium. However, bringing coolers and backpacks to the parking lots for tailgating before a game is fine.

 

Finally, if you don’t have a car to leave your bag in when you head to SeatGeek Stadium, see if a nearby hotel can watch your stuff. The Hampton Inn and Suites Bridgeview Chicago Hotel is next to the stadium. Most hotels generally charge a small bag-holding fee for guests who need them to watch their bag while at the game. As a note, bag storage space is limited at hotels, so plan to arrive there two hours before kickoff to get a space for your bag.
