Little Caesars Arena Bag Policy (2026)
Last verified: January 15, 2025 · How we verify
Official websiteLittle Caesars Arena is one of the larger arenas in its league, holding 20,491 fans in Detroit, MI, home to both the Detroit Pistons (NBA) and the Detroit Red Wings (NHL). The arena hosts NBA and NHL games throughout the season, making it one of the busiest event venues in the Detroit area.
Like most NBA venues, Little Caesars Arena enforces a clear bag policy. All bags brought into the arena must be transparent plastic, vinyl, or PVC no larger than 12"×6"×12". Each fan may also bring one small non-clear clutch or wristlet (up to 4.5"×6.5"). To avoid any issues at the gate, bring a clear bag that meets the size requirements (12"×6"×12" maximum) and arrive early — security lines move faster when bags are transparent. A one-gallon clear zip-lock bag is an inexpensive alternative if you need a quick solution. If you arrive with a non-compliant bag, Little Caesars Arena offers locker or bag check services near the entrance.
