Taylor Swift Eras Tour: Clear bag policy at State Farm Stadium
There seems to be some lingering confusion as to what the deal is with the clear bag policy at State Farm Stadium as Taylor Swift prepares to launch The Eras Tour with two sold-out performances the weekend of March 17-18.
State Farm Stadium and the NFL Clear Bag Policy strictly limit the size and type of bags that are permitted in the building.
Backpacks, purses (other than small clutches) and diaper bags are not permitted.
The State Farm Stadium website strongly encourages fans to not bring any bags.
However, each fan may carry one bag that is clear plastic, vinyl or PVC no larger than 12 inches by 12 inches by 6 inches or a one-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziploc bag or similar).
In addition to one of the clear bags noted above, fans may also carry in a small clutch purse or wallet no larger than 4.5 by 6.5 inches, with or without a handle or strap, subject to search.

This is the part that seems to be confusing people. Here's what the State Farm Stadium page about the Eras Tour says:
"For Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour clear bags may not contain graphics, stickers, writing, or other decorations on more than one side of the clear bag."
That means you're free to bring a bag with stickers and/or other decorations on one side only.
