Size Rules

Approved Bag Sizes at Kia Forum

Clear Bag

12 x 6 x 12

inches (W x D x H). Clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC only.

Small Clutch

4.5 x 6.5

inches. Any material. No strap or handle allowed. One per person.

A standard clear stadium bag or gallon zip-lock bag fits within the 12x6x12 limit and holds your phone, wallet, keys, and a few personal items comfortably. Clear stadium bags are available at most drug stores and online for under $15. If you attend events at multiple Inglewood venues, a dedicated clear event bag is worth keeping in your car.

There is no bag check or coat check at Kia Forum for non-compliant bags. If security turns your bag away, you will need to return it to your vehicle. Plan accordingly before leaving home.

Medical Bags

Guests with medical needs may bring a medical or diaper bag regardless of size. Medical bags are subject to inspection at the security checkpoint. Arrive a few minutes early if you need additional screening time. Insulin, inhalers, and other necessary medications may be brought in their original labeled containers.

Cameras

Small point-and-shoot cameras with a non-detachable lens shorter than 3 inches are typically allowed at most Kia Forum concerts. Professional cameras with detachable or zoom lenses are prohibited. Video cameras and GoPro-style devices are generally not permitted. Camera bags are not allowed regardless of camera type. Verify the camera policy on your specific event listing before arriving.

Event-Specific Rules

The standard clear bag policy applies to all Kia Forum events. High-security events, such as certain award shows or corporate productions, may enforce stricter rules. For these events, the event-specific bag policy is posted on the Kia Forum website and in your ticket confirmation email. When in doubt, use the smallest clear bag you have.

Entry Tips

Getting Through Security Faster

Tickets

Have your ticket ready before reaching the entry point — phone unlocked to your ticket app, or printed ticket in hand.

Metal Items

Place all metal items (keys, coins, belt) inside your clear bag before reaching the metal detector. Fewer items in pockets means fewer secondary screenings.

Timing

Arrive 30 to 45 minutes before showtime for general events. For sold-out concerts, 60 minutes gives you buffer without feeling rushed.

Entrances

Use entrances away from the main Manchester Blvd entrance for shorter security lines. Side entrances typically move 20 to 30 percent faster.

No Bag Check

Do not bring a non-compliant bag expecting to store it. Kia Forum has no bag check. You will be sent back to your vehicle.
