Can You Bring a crossbody bag to The Forum?
A small clear crossbody bag may work at The Forum, but standard non-clear 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 at security. When in doubt, a clear fanny pack is a more reliable hands-free alternative since it clearly meets the clear bag policy without any ambiguity about size.
