Can You Bring a tote bag to MetLife Stadium?

Yes — If Clear

Only if it's clear. MetLife Stadium enforces a clear bag policy (maximum 12"×6"×12"), so a standard canvas or fabric tote bag will be turned away at the gate. A clear tote bag of the same size is the perfect compliant alternative — roomy, practical, and transparent.
