Can You Bring a backpack to SoFi Stadium?
No — because SoFi Stadium requires clear bags (maximum 12"×6"×12") at all events, standard backpacks cannot be brought in. Even clear backpacks are typically turned away; the allowed bag must be a tote or clutch style, not a backpack shape. This is standard for NFL venues. NFL venues follow league-wide bag guidelines, so the rules below are consistent across the league's other stadiums as well. If you need a hands-free option, a clear fanny pack is your best bet and easily meets the clear bag requirement.

A clear fanny pack is the best hands-free option. A one-gallon clear zip-lock bag is also accepted and is the most budget-friendly solution.
