Home to the Boston Red Sox, Fenway Park is an iconic piece of baseball history. The Boston Red Sox is a Major League baseball team, which means there are certain directives that the organization gives each stadium in order to ensure the best security and most enjoyable game experience for its visitors. Here is all you need to know about the bag policy in Fenway Park.
This is why all fans need to go through a metal-detector security check, where all their bags are searched. Please note that you can only bring only soft-sided bags no larger than 5″x9″x2″. Backpacks, duffel bags, tote bags, oversized purses, and other similar style bags are NOT allowed.
Our tip? If you want to skip the waiting time, leave your bags at home and carry just your essentials in your coat pockets. This way you can go through the no bags line and reach your seats much quicker.

House rules in Fenway Park
Apart from having to comply with the bag policy in Fenway Park, there are also a few general house rules you should follow:
Smoking is not allowed in any area of Fenway Park
Not even Yawkey Alley.
You shouldn’t interfere with other people’s enjoyment of the game
For example, take care that you’re not standing for long periods of time when others are sitting; the people behind you want to watch the game just as badly as you. If you don’t agree with another person’s comments, then judge them silently, like the rest of us do, don’t pick on them or bully them. Also, don’t be the person always shouting directives at the players. They’ve got this.
Don’t interfere with the game or throw any item on the field
You might want to let a certain player know what a huge fan you are on throwing a “Love Forever” teddy onto the field. Or you might want to let a certain player know how much of a fan you are not and want to throw a pair of undergarments at them on which you wittily wrote: “eat my shorts”. Perhaps you’ve seen one Hollywood film too, many people streaking across baseball fields and reckon this is your moment. As those after-school specials have taught us, just say no. This way you and everyone else can enjoy a nice show and not needlessly interrupt or interfere with the play or other’s fun afternoon.
Dress appropriately
There is always that one person that suggests you and your pals all go together to a game and write something funny on your bare bellies. The security guards might take issue with that. So show your support by wearing your team’s merch or just regular clothes.
