To provide a safer environment for the public and significantly expedite fan entry into stadiums, NFL teams have implemented an NFL policy that limits the size and type of bags that may be brought into stadiums. Exceptions to this policy will be made for all medically necessary items after proper inspection.
Prior to attending a game, fans are encouraged to visit the NFL team's website for additional guidelines specific to the stadium.
A clear bag policy (along with security screenings) will be in place at all NFL London Games and any additional NFL UK events, to provide a safe environment for all fans. All clear bags entering the stadium/event venue must be no larger than 12" x 6" x 12" (30.5 x 15.25 x 30.5 cm) and will be inspected closely by security upon entry to the stadium. The NFL reserves the right to refuse entry of certain items into the stadium consistent with the prohibited items list.
Exceptions will be made to the size limitations for sealed clear bags containing merchandise purchased at NFL Shop. If you intend to enter the stadium/event venue, this bag MUST remain sealed until you pass through stadium screening. Fans are encouraged to retain receipts to demonstrate proof of local purchase.
All fans are prohibited from bringing any bag into the stadium that does not follow the NFL regulations. Visit Europe.nflshop.com to purchase a clear bag.
Fans who require medical equipment that cannot fit in an approved bag, should contact the Tottenham Hotspur customer service team via email on access@tottenhamhotspur.com with the subject header 'NFL Bag Exemption'.
