Football season is almost here, so it’s time to start thinking about game day attire! While we don’t hold season tickets for any college teams nearby, we do go to a few App State games in Boone each season. I love a fall football game, especially in the mountains!
I shared a full blog post with my favorite cute (but still practical) outfits for football games. But I thought one game-day outfit essential needed it’s own blog post: clear crossbody bags. So that’s what you’re reading today! I have picked out some of the best stadium bags for your next game.
If you’ve been to a football game (or concert) recently, you probably noticed that your purse had to be clear, or if not clear, super small. That’s because most large stadiums have started implementing clear bag policies. The goal is to make sure people aren’t bringing sketchy stuff into games. It makes sense to me, but it can still be a pain to have to find cute clear bags.
The good news is that I’ve found a few cute clear bags for stadiums. And they’re all affordable. There’s no sense in investing in an expensive game-day bag unless you’re a college student going to games every weekend. If you only use a clear bag a few times each season, then one of these Amazon purses will do the trick just fine.
This clear crossbody bag with a detachable fabric strap is definitely the best clear stadium bag. Not only does it look more expensive than it is, but it feels that way too. The size is substantial as it’s much larger than most crossbody bags I own. There are two pockets to keep things organized (the top is zippered, which I also love).
The fabric strap is removable if you want to swap it for a different one you have. I honestly LOVE the strap as-is, and the length is adjustable so you can wear it long or short. Khaki is the only colorway I’ve seen in person. It’s super cute, but I’d imagine the other colors are too. This is the one I went with last year since the original one I ordered (pictured above) had too long a strap for my liking.
This is less of a bag, and more of a box. However, it works perfectly for game days, and it’s the trending option among so many college students right now. I got my Shadow Monogram Stadium Bag from Sprinkled with Pink (they have a few different stadium bag options). I had them personalize it with TA and use the colors of ASU and WFU, since those are the teams I cheer for most often. I love that this bag is under $35.


Next on my list is this jelly crossbody purse. It’s made mainly of a vinyl material, and this clear bag is stadium-approved. There’s a removable storage pouch inside that can give you a little privacy for items like tampons, pads, medication, etc. (which every girl appreciates). This purse has a long chain strap with a vegan leather detail at the top. The leather sits on your shoulder. I like this for comfort purposes– chain straps dig into my shoulders without leather details like this.
I also like the square acrylic buckle and the fact that the strap is detachable. You could easily carry this bag by the top handle if you wanted to ditch the crossbody look altogether. Right now, the bag comes in white, but occasionally, you can get it in your team colors when they become available. Sometimes you’ll see yellow (for ASU or Wake Forest), light blue (any UNC fans out there), black, white, and leopard print options, just to name a few.
I had the hardest time deciding if this clear crossbody bag should take second place. Ultimately, I knew the team color option of the bag above was the deciding factor. However, this vegan leather option looks so high-end with the gold hardware and strap details that it made it a hard choice, as it’s one of the best clear bags I’ve tried.
This bag comes with two removable straps so you can wear it short or long.
Now this clear crossbody bag is small but similar to the mini Longchamp purse (which I love). It has both a zipper and a snap, so whatever items you bring will be secure. The only caveat is that you can’t fit a ton inside, but if you don’t want to have to keep track of a lot, this is a great, and super cute, choice!
I’m putting this clear purse at the bottom of the list because I had a variation of this and just wasn’t obsessed, although it does get the job done. My only issue was that when the strap wasn’t doubled up, it felt way too long. But it’s also important to note that I’m 5’1″, so it wouldn’t be that long on everyone. And doubling the strap is also not a big deal.
If you like the look of a more minimalistic and feminine design, then this is a great game-day option.
