State Farm Arena Bag Policy (2026)
Last verified: January 15, 2025 · How we verify
Official websiteState Farm Arena is one of the larger arenas in its league, holding 21,000 fans in Atlanta, GA, home to the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA. The arena hosts NBA basketball and other major events, making it one of the busiest event venues in the Atlanta area.
Like most NBA venues, State Farm 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, State Farm Arena offers locker or bag check services near the entrance.
