Can You Bring a purse to FedExForum?

No — Not Permitted

No — FedExForum explicitly bans purses and non-clear handbags. The arena's bag policy prohibits standard purses at all events, not just select ones. If you need to carry personal items, you will need to switch to a clear bag (up to 12"×6"×12") or a small approved clutch. Plan ahead — showing up with a non-compliant bag means you either have to return it to your car or store it outside.
