Major League Baseball is back in downtown Phoenix, where the Arizona Diamondbacks face the Colorado Rockies on opening day 2024 at Chase Field.

The first game of the season will begin at 7:10 p.m. Thursday, March 28.

Last year, the Diamondbacks made it to the World Series for the first time since 2001, although they ultimately lost in five games to the Texas Rangers.

If you’re planning to be there for opening day or any Dbacks game in downtown Phoenix, you may be wondering what you can and cannot bring to Chase Field and what kinds of bags are allowed.

We’ve got you covered. Here's the Chase Field bag policy 2024.

What bags are allowed at Chase Field?

Each fan may carry one clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bag no larger than 12 by 12 by 6 inches or a clear plastic freezer bag no larger than one gallon. Clear bags may not have obscured interior pockets.

Can you take a purse into Chase Field?

Fans may also carry a clutch purse no larger than 6.5 inches by 4.5 inches.

Bags and purses are subject to search.

Do you have to have a clear bag at Chase Field?

Yes. Complimentary clear plastic bags are available at several locations around the stadium perimeter, so guests may transfer their belongings to an approved bag.

Non-approved bags will not be allowed into the stadium. Guests arriving via bus, light rail, taxi or rideshare with unapproved bags may take advantage of storage lockers. Storage lockers are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

All items being stored are subject to inspection. The Arizona Diamondbacks will not check or store items at the gates and are not responsible for items left behind, lost, stolen or damaged.

Can I bring a water bottle to Chase Field?

You may bring the following:

  • Unflavored/noncarbonated water in sealed plastic bottles.

  • Empty plastic water bottles.

  • Sealed single-serving juice boxes.

  • Formula and baby food.

You may not bring alcohol.

No metal, glass or Thermos-style containers are permitted.

Can I bring a seat cushion or blanket to Chase Field?

One-piece seat cushions no wider than 18 inches without pockets, zippers or concealable areas are permitted.

Blankets are permitted if carried loosely. Blankets are subject to inspection.

What can I expect at security?

As you approach a gate, your ticket will be scanned and you will be instructed to place your cellphone and metal objects in a bin or inside your handbag or backpack.

Small sets of keys or spare change do not need to go in the bin. Security will examine your bags and direct you through the metal detector.

Gates A, C, E, J and K and the Bridge Entrance will have lanes for those who cannot go through a metal detector because of a mobility device. Guests using these lanes will be subject to a light pat-down or hand wand, as well as an inspection of the mobility device.

If a medical implant sets off the metal detector, the person will be subject to a follow-up screening that may include a hand wand or light pat-down search.

The risk of disrupting a pacemaker is negligible. However, if you are concerned, there is an option of a pat-down search.

No weapons are allowed at Chase Field

Weapons of any kind, including pocket knives, are prohibited.

Only active federal or Arizona state law enforcement officers may enter with a firearm. Credentials will be verified at the time of entry.

Chase Field will not hold personal items. Storage lockers are available.
