Whether you’re seeing your local sports team IRL or favorite artist perform at a concert or music festival, no stadium ‘fit check is complete without one specific item: a small, clear bag that allows for hands-free fun and dancing.
Many venues, especially major stadiums, require that any bags brought inside must be clear, so the contents can be easily seen by security. A few years ago, this created a frenzy of last-minute Amazon bag purchases and an overall flood of PVC plastic bags on the market. The upside of this demand is there are actually a lot of cute clear stadium bags to choose from. From elevated clear purses and the popular crossbody variety to funky fanny packs and mini backpacks, the new arrivals are so trendy that you can wear them beyond game day.
Ahead, we’ve compiled the very best clear purses — with many customizable options coming from Amazon and Etsy — that fit within the typical stadium-approved 12 x 6 x 12-inch dimensions. While you may think this will be a one-off purchase, you may be surprised that you’ll want to use a clear purse time and time again, whether you’re bringing it to school, out to lunch, or for a stroll at the park.
