fenway bag policy, prohibited items, and important information
This policy is copy and pasted from the Fenway website :-)
Bags must be 5"x9"x2" or smaller (the size of a small purse or clutch) or use of clear bags no larger than 12” x 12” x 6”.

Exceptions will be made for diaper bags and bags containing essential medical equipment.
All bags will be subject to search as referenced above. Please pay close attention to the prohibited items list below.
Fans who arrive to an entry gate for a game with a non-permitted bag will have the option of storing their bag for a fee with a third-party locker company. This locker truck is located on top of the Lansdowne Garage across from Gate E.
Below is a list of items that will not be permitted into Fenway Park.
We will not be responsible for storing any of the items on the following list. Any prohibited items left at the screening area shall be considered surrendered and will be discarded. Fans will not be able to retrieve any surrendered items. Concealment of any item on the below list could result in denial of entry. Fenway Park is a private facility and reserves the right to prohibit any item not on the below list in the interest of public safety and enjoyment for all fans.
