The Super Bowl is the annual league championship game of the National Football League of the United States. The Super Bowl is among the world's most-watched single sporting events and frequently commands the largest audience among all American broadcasts during the year. It is second only to the UEFA Champions League final as the most watched annual club sporting event worldwide.
The seven most-watched broadcasts in American television history are Super Bowls. The Super Bowl is also the second-largest event for American food consumption, behind Thanksgiving dinner. However, before heading to the stadium, it is crucial to check the list of prohibited items, as bringing the wrong thing could result in being denied entry or even banned from the venue.
List of banned things one can't bring to the Super Bowl
Beach balls are strictly prohibited at the Super Bowl, as they could disrupt the experience for other attendees and may seem harmless, according to an article in Economic Times. Bum bags, or fanny packs, are not allowed inside the stadium due to the NFL's strict bag policy. Attendees must use clear bags that meet the stadium's size requirements, as these small pouches do not comply with the policy.
Glitter was banned at the Super Bowl 2025 due to its mess and cleaning difficulties, and may not be suitable for adding sparkle to outfits, as it creates a messy and difficult-to-clean look. The stadium management has banned the use of offensive or controversial stickers at the Super Bowl 2025, possibly due to concerns over potential distractions.
In addition to these odd restrictions, the stadium prohibits various other items, including,
- Animals (except service dogs)
- Backpacks/knapsacks
- Banners (large or inappropriate)
- Bats, clubs, poles, sticks
- Bottles, cans, glass, containers
- Fireworks
- Helium balloons
- iPads and tablets
- Large/oversized bags
- Laser pointers
- Mace
- Mascot headwear of any kind
- Noisemakers and whistles
- Outside food and drink
- Projectiles
- Selfie sticks
- Unauthorized marketing or vending
- Video and audio recording devices, including GoPros
- Weapons or any item deemed unacceptable by Venue Management
