Does anyone know what you can/can't bring into Fenway for shows? Tried to find a link on the web but no luck. Never been there so want to make sure backpacks are allowed in. I know some ballparks you can't. Any help would be great. Can't wait till the show in a few weeks!!

    Not sure how it differs for concerts, but this is a good guideline to start out with.

    I'm still curious what their policy will be for poster tubes. If I'm able to get posters outside before the show I very well might just mail them to myself from the post office that's down the street since I won't have a car or hotel room to put them in.

    Yea their policy is no bag over 16x16x8 is allowed in so that eliminates backpacks.

    A well constructed cinch sack is the trick for these places. You can get ones that are basically back packs, but with no structure (i.e. they are not just strings to put around your shoulders). That's what they're trying to eliminate anyway.

    Not a shill for UA (though they are awesome). I'm sure there's others on the market, but I've carried poster tubes in this one (well, technically my son has, but that's his price for his dad taking him to so many cool shows, including Fenway).

    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    If they're selling posters inside the stadium (not saying they are, but a giant "IF" they are), I don't see how they can't allow them in for those who purchase outside stadium (if the merchandise stands are actually outside the stadium,). I have no stadium experience as far as concerts, but poster tubes have definitely been allowed in arenas.

    I believe I read somewhere that you can purchase posters with a tube for an extra $5

    I love Boston but if ever you are in doubt err on the side that will be the most inconvenient for the most people.
