Headed to the Redskins Game This Season? Bring a See-Through Bag

By Andrew Metcalf

If you're headed to the Washington Redskins' game at FedEx Field on Aug. 19 or anytime after this season, make sure you follow all the new guidelines for bringing things into the stadium.

And there are a lot.

The new guidelines that include bans on large bags, and the use of clear plastic bags have been instituted across the NFL to "provide a safer environment for the public and significantly expedite fan entry into stadiums," according to NFL.com.

The new bag policy, with airport-like demands, asks any fan that wants to bring items in a bag, do so in a clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bag that does not exceed 12"x6"x12". One gallon clear plastic freezer bags are also acceptable. 

Items that can be stored in your pockets are allowed, as well as a small clutch bag about the size of a hand.

The Redskins are selling logo see-through bags on their website for $9.99 to $19.95.

If you'd like to remain fashionable, while also being in line with the rules, Vogue made a list of see through handbags that range in price from $200 to $2,000.

Here's the full list of restricted items:

• Air horns or horns of any kind
• Artificial noise makers
• Backpacks
• Beverages
• Binocular/Camera cases
• Bottles (plastic or glass)
• Camera tripods and monopods
• Cans

Items such as jackets, tarps, coats, binoculars and items for medical needs will be permitted into the stadium.
