The world has changed a lot since some folks have been to a concert, so here’s a quick guide to help you get through it without a hitch—especially if you’re heading to Jones AT&T Stadium.

There are plenty of rules, but if you don’t want to study a full handbook, here are the three big ones that will make or break your experience.

First up, the clear bag policy. That means a clear tote no larger than about one foot by one foot, or even a simple one-gallon plastic bag. Small clutch bags are allowed too, but they must be under 4.5 by 6.5 inches. And yes—everything will be searched.

Second, the stadium is completely cashless. If you’re planning on grabbing food, drinks, or merch, cash won’t help you. Bring a card or a digital payment option, or you’ll be out of luck.

Third, parking is going to be a challenge. Big crowds mean big congestion, so consider using rideshare options or a shuttle service to get closer to the stadium without the headache. It’ll save you time and frustration.

There are plenty of other rules—no smoking, no coolers, no professional cameras—but most of that falls under common sense. If you handle those three major points, you’ll already be ahead of the game.

🚧 One More Thing: Be Cool at the Gate

Here’s a bonus tip. The folks working the gates are there to do a job, and many are temporary staff dealing with massive crowds. Some are seasoned, others are learning on the fly—but none of them have time for debates or exceptions. If you’re trying to bend the rules or sneak something in, it’s not going to work.

Show up prepared, follow the guidelines, and you’ll get in smoothly. Fight it, and you’re just slowing yourself—and everyone else—down.
