Empower Field at Mile High Stadium (previously Sports Authority Field at Mile High) is home to the Denver Broncos NFL team at 1701 Bryant St, Denver, Colorado 80204. The clear bag policy at the Broncos Stadium allows fans to carry in clear single-compartment bags that don’t exceed 12″ x 6″ x12″ into the arena. Small non-clear clutch bags that don’t surpass 6.5″ x 4.5″ can also enter the venue. Otherwise, the Denver Broncos Stadium only permits fans to bring clear bags into the arena.
Here is the entire Mile High Stadium bag policy guide for your next sporting event or concert. I also share my bag recommendation on what to bring to the game. Finally, there is an affiliate link to Amazon on this page.
Empower Field, like other NFL venues, only permits fans to bring clear bags into the arena. The only anomaly to the clear bag rule is allowing small wallets and clutches inside the arena. Below are the types of bags that fans can bring into the Denver Broncos Stadium for games or concerts.
I’ve been bringing my clear fanny pack that measures 11″ x 6.5″ x 5.9″ in size to football games for a while now. I’ve been bringing that to games for the following reasons below.
Below is a video of me going into further detail why I recommend bringing a clear fanny pack to games.
Fans attending an event at Mile High Stadium will undergo a metal detector screening before scanning their ticket for entry at the gate entrances. Fans who have a bag with them will have that go through its own security inspection at the gate. The bag inspection includes reviewing if the bag is clear, is no larger than 12″ x 6″ x12″, and doesn’t contain prohibited items. If there are no issues with your bag or items inside of it, the security staff will give it back to you to enter the stadium with.
Fans attending an event at Mile High Stadium should know that certain items can’t come inside the arena with them. Some things the security staff won’t allow you to bring inside the arena are below. Visit the official A-Z guide of Empower Field to read the most up-to-date information on prohibited items that can’t come into the arena.
If your bag can’t come into Empower Field at Mile High for any reason, there is a locker storage area at Gate 2 that you can rent to store your stuff in. The company that runs this locker storage is called Binbox. As a note, Binbox does run on a first-come and first-served basis, so plan to arrive an hour or two before your event to get one of these lockers for your bag.
If you tailgate in the parking lots before a game or event, consider leaving those bags in your car before heading to the stadium. Traditional backpacks and coolers can’t come in with fans at Empower Field. Unless you want to pay money to store your bag in the locker check area at Gate 2, you should plan on leaving any non-clear single-compartment bag in your car.
