A's Coliseum Bag Policy

I still remember the day I went to watch an A's game at the Coliseum with my friends. We were all super excited, but our excitement was short-lived as we were stopped at the entrance due to bag policy issues. Yep, you guessed it, my friend had a bag that was way too big, and we had to make an emergency pit stop at the car to drop it off before we could enter.
This got me thinking, what's the deal with the Coliseum's bag policy? Is it really that strict, and what are the rules we need to follow? As it turns out, the policy is in place for our safety and security, which is totally understandable, but it's still a bummer when you're not prepared.
So, What's Allowed?
According to the A's website, clear bags are a must, and they need to be 12" x 6" x 12" or smaller. You can also bring clutch bags that are 4.5" x 6.5" or smaller, which is good news for those who like to travel light. But, let's be real, who doesn't love a good backpack or tote bag to carry all their essentials?

Exceptions to the Rule
Now, I know what you're thinking, what about medical bags or diaper bags? Don't worry, the Coliseum's got you covered - these types of bags are allowed, but be prepared to have them inspected before you enter. And, if you're like me and love to bring snacks to the game, you can still do that, just make sure they fit in your clear bag or clutch.

So, the next time you're heading to an A's game, make sure to check your bag before you leave the house. You don't want to be like my friend and have to make a last-minute bag drop-off. Trust me, it's not worth the hassle, and you'll be glad you planned ahead when you're cheering on the A's without a care in the world.
In conclusion, the Coliseum's bag policy might seem strict at first, but it's really just a small price to pay for a fun and safe experience. So, go ahead, grab your clear bag, and get ready to enjoy the game - just don't forget to leave your big bags at home!
