The Super Bowl LIX is finally here!
And with 75,000 fans pouring into the Caesars Superdome to watch the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles, there’s one crucial thing to keep in mind; the stadium’s list of banned items.
Bringing the wrong thing won’t just get it confiscated; it could even get you kicked out before kickoff.
While some items on the list are obvious, others are downright strange.
Here are some of the most unexpected things you’ll need to leave at home before heading to the biggest game of the year.
Beach Balls
This might seem like common sense, but apparently, it needs to be said — this is a football game, not a beach party.
While tossing a beach ball through the crowd might seem like harmless fun, stadium officials are making sure it doesn’t happen. If you were hoping to sneak one in for a mid-game volleyball session, think again.
Fanny Packs
This one is surprising. Fanny packs, also known as bum bags, are a great way to keep your essentials secure, yet they’re completely banned from the Superdome.
Whether it’s for security reasons or just an arbitrary rule, one thing is clear — if your belongings don’t fit in your pockets, you’ll need to find another way to carry them.
Glitter
If you were planning to bring some extra sparkle to the Super Bowl, you’ll have to rethink your outfit.
Glitter is strictly prohibited, and while there’s no official explanation, it’s likely because it creates a mess that’s nearly impossible to clean up. So if you had visions of dazzling up the stands, you’re out of luck.
Stickers
Yes, even stickers have made the list. The stadium hasn’t given a specific reason, but it’s safe to assume they don’t want people sticking them on seats, walls, or anywhere else.
Whether it’s a sports logo, a political slogan, or just a fun design, all stickers will have to stay behind.
To avoid any trouble at the gate, here’s everything that is not allowed inside the stadium:
If you plan on bringing a bag, it must follow the stadium’s "All Clear" bag policy. That means only transparent bags are allowed, and they cannot exceed 12 inches by 12 inches by 6 inches.
The official Superdome website states:
"The following are the only bags permitted into the Superdome:
"NOTE: The following bags are not permitted:
Before heading to the stadium, double-check your belongings and make sure you’re not carrying anything on the banned list. Getting turned away at the gate over something as small as a sticker or a fanny pack is not how you want to start Super Bowl Sunday.
