Pit Arena Bag Policy

New Mexico Basketball Bag Policy

If you're gearing up to cheer on the University of New Mexico Lobos at the Pit Arena in Albuquerque, New Mexico, it's essential to familiarize yourself with the venue's bag policy. For all sports seasons, the Pit Arena enforces a clear bag policy to ensure the safety and security of all patrons.

Clear Bag Specifications at the Pit Arena

The Pit Arena bag policy stipulates that all clear bags may be no larger than 12” x 6” x 12”. If patrons don't have a clear bag, they're allowed to bring in a gallon-sized freezer bag. This policy is applicable to all games and is enforced to ensure faster entry and enhanced security.

Pit Arena Purse Policy

For those looking to bring smaller items, the Pit Arena has a specific policy for purses and wallets. Palm-sized clutch purses or wallets are exempt from the clear bag policy, making it more convenient for patrons who need to carry small essential items with them.

Diaper & Medical Bags

The Pit Arena does allow some exceptions to its clear bag policy. Non-clear medical bags and diaper bags (when entering with a child) are permitted but are subject to inspection.

Prohibited Items

  • Backpacks
  • Fanny packs
  • Printed pattern bags
  • Reusable grocery bags
  • Mesh or straw bags
  • Duffle bags
  • Large totes (larger than 12″x6″x12″)

In case your bag is turned away at the gate for not adhering to the clear bag policy, you'll need to return it to your vehicle as there's no area for storage at the venue. For the most efficient entry into the stadium, patrons are encouraged to leave all bags at home.
