Phillies Stadium Bag Policy [Citizens Bank Park 2023]

Under CBP bag policy, Phillies stadium restricts any backpacks and bags to the arena in 2023.

The size of the single-compartment bags must not exceed 16*16*8, which is the same for all MLB ballparks.

The management has loosened a little regarding their strict bag policy, which was in place at the start of the season. The reversal was a result of backlash from fans.

Most of the protests came from fans with disabilities or in need of medical aid. The new strict bag and purse policy was implemented just at the start of the season.

The new policy restricted fans from bringing wallet-sized carriers and single-compartment totes, both of which were allowed previously. After receiving backlash from the fans, the club reversed its decision.

There are still some prohibitions on what kind of bags you can take, but there have been a few changes. After the change, fans can bring fanny packs, drawstrings, and single-compartment bags to the stadium.

Diaper and medical bags have been allowed since the beginning, but they must be within the given size and conform to Major League Baseball security regulations.

Some exceptions are given for fans who require medical aids or are with infants carrying manufactured diaper bags.

Here is a list of bag types prohibited in Citizens Bank Park:

• Duffel Bag
• Camera Bag
• Backpack
• Cooler
• Purse larger than 5*7
• Binocular case
