Wrigley Field - Prohibited / Permitted Items For Concerts

stateofloveandpj

With the shows a few weeks away, I was looking for details on what you/can’t bring in for shows at Wrigley.  I was there in ‘13 but know things change these days each year on security stuff.  Can anyone who went in ‘16 comment on if you could bring a small bag in or a purse?  All I could find on the Cubs site was the below for ball games.  I have sent a note to 10c to see if any info coming.  

PROHIBITED ITEMS LIST FOR CUBS GAMES

The following items are prohibited at Wrigley Field during Cubs games: Alcohol, bags larger than 16 x 16 x 8 inches, brooms, containers (cans, aerosol spray, glass, hard-sided coolers, thermoses or flasks), illegal drugs, inflatables, laser pointers, luggage or car seats, nets, noise makers, non-factory sealed plastic bottles, portable stadium seats, selfie sticks, unmanned aerial vehicles, weapons of any kind and any other item deemed inappropriate by ballpark operations personnel. Please note the list of prohibited items may be different for other Wrigley Field events including concerts. Please contact Cubs Fan Services at 773-388-8270 with questions regarding other Wrigley Field events. Please note whether certain items such as umbrellas are permitted into Wrigley Field during a concert is at the discretion of the artist.

PERMITTED ITEMS LIST FOR CUBS GAMES

The following items are permitted at Wrigley Field during Cubs games: Bags, purses, fanny packs and backpacks smaller than 16 x 16 x 8 inches, soft-sided coolers, wheelchairs and small umbrella strollers. Fans with bags and containers will be directed to designated lanes where security personnel will search these items, as in previous years. "Express" lanes will be available for guests not carrying a bag or container. Please note the list of permitted items may be different for other Wrigley Field events including concerts.

For concerts at Wrigley, the prohibited list may be different than the general Wrigley rules. For example, the Foo Fighters shows last week had a different size bag restriction than the one posted on Wrigley's website. If you bought tickets through PJ or Wrigley, you will most likely get an e-mail from the Cubs (probably the week of the shows) with additional information/policies.

Also, anyone wearing St.Louis Cardinals gear will be turned away and left to deal with @Degeneratefk

Based on previous Wrigley concerts these are usually what's allowed:

Camera policy should be normal as usual (no GoPro, video devices, detachable lenses, etc).

Best bet on bags would be small purses, merch tote bags or drawsting athletic bags, but expect thorough searching at security - no backpacks or large bags.

No outside food, they might allow two sealed bottles of water like they do at Cubs games but no guarantee.

Also, prohibited are tablets (iPads)...should have known better in 2016, but got there early to gate and waited for opening.  And I had a small bag, that it never came out of once thru security and didn’t return for night 2.  So to answer your question, small bags can go thru...dare I say purse or man bag size (insert Seinfeld joke here).

Hopefully we will get an email or tweet about restrictions for Wrigley like they did for the Seattle shows. Reading sone of the comments it sounds like there was confusion on bag size and camera type being allowed in

Since I have read that a lot of ladies brought game day legal sized bags and had problems with those, I encourage people to read specifications for the event that you are attending.  Different specifications can apply to different events. Please do not assume blanket specifications for a venue would apply to a Pearl Jam concert.

The security wouldn’t allow me to take in my point and shoot camera to night 1 in 2016.  Then when I was in GA I saw people who had the same size pocket cameras.  Pissed me off.  I’ve taken the same damn camera to the past 7 shows I attended.
