The NFL Clear Bag Policy will be enforced for all Arizona Cardinals games. State Farm Stadium strongly recommend fans to not bring any bags, however the following will be permitted:  One clear bag no larger than 12” x 6” x 12” or a standard one (1) gallon freezer bag. Please review the complete bag policy by clicking here. 

In accordance with NFL Best Practices for Stadium Security, below is what you can expect upon arrival to State Farm Stadium:

• Gates open 90 minutes prior to kickoff. Guests are encouraged to enter early as security checkpoints are the busiest during the 30 minutes leading up to kickoff.
• Magnetometers will be used to screen all fans at the security checkpoints.
• Prior to screening fans will be asked to keep all items in their hands or pockets and to proceed through the magnetometer.
• All bags and carry-in items should be placed on the table next to the magnetometer for inspection. Please have bags open for security team members and be prepared to remove or open any item, if requested.
• Physical pat-downs will be a last resort for any fans who cannot pass through the magnetometer without alarms.
• Fans electing not to consent to the metal detector screening, physical pat down, or bag search will be denied entry into State Farm Stadium.
• Failure to comply with stadium policies will result in denied admittance.

As we work to provide a safe environment for fans to enjoy the game, we ask that you report any suspicious activity to the nearest security team members or uniformed law enforcement officer.
