What to Bring in Your Stadium Bag
The Necessities
Wallet: Make sure you've got everything you need in the same place in your stadium bag! Don't forget your ID so you can grab a drink, spending cash for quick snack purchases, and your credit or debit card for any game day unexpected buys. You’ll be ready for whatever the day brings— without missing a moment of the action!
- ID
- Credit/Debit Cards
- Spending Cash
Ticket: Printed tickets are a smart backup to have in your stadium bag, even if you have digital ones. Phone batteries die, signals can be spotty, and some venues still prefer or require paper tickets. Having a hard copy ensures you get through the gates smoothly and can be a cute keepsake.
Phone: Duh! This one is obvious but just as a reminder.. grab your phone to capture the excitement with pictures, check the score, or stay in touch with friends.
Keys: Okay, this one is obvious too but we just want to hit all the bases! Consider a key leash to ensure your keys are secured to your stadium bag, just in case things get extra exciting.
