Can You Bring a crossbody bag to Bridgestone Arena?
A small clear crossbody bag may work at Bridgestone Arena, but standard crossbody bags are not permitted due to the arena's clear bag requirement. If your crossbody is small enough to qualify as a clutch (up to 4.5"×6.5") and is made of clear material, it should pass. A clear fanny pack is a reliable hands-free alternative.
