If you are a Tampa Bay Buccaneer fan, and enjoy sitting among the screaming fans at Raymond James Stadium, pack light, and bring nothing you don’t want everyone to see.
NFL owners, always concerned about security, have tightened the rules on what fans can bring into stadiums this year, and there will no longer be large purses, fanny packs, backpacks, seat cushions, coolers, camera bags or cinch bags allowed.
Fans can bring all the personal items they can fit into a clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bag that is 12-by-6-by-12 inches. That’s about the size of a one-gallon plastic freezer bag.
All ticketholders will be allowed to bring one see-through bag and one clutch bag or small purse to the game. Small items like wallets, keys and cellphone can be kept in a pocket, but will have to be shown to security. The new rules are intended to increase fan safety and speed up security lines.
The Tampa Sports Authority hasn’t decided whether it will also apply the NFL security mandate to other events at the stadium.
