Bag Policy
Allowed

The NFL Clear Bag Policy is in effect. Permitted bags include clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bags not exceeding 12" x 6" x 12", one-gallon clear plastic freezer bags, and small clutch bags or camera cases no larger than 4.5" x 6.5".

The Spaghetti Policy

Under the 'Marinara Clause,' a clear bag is merely a vessel, not a food container, but since the rules explicitly forbid outside food, the spaghetti is legally dead on arrival. I could argue that noodles are textiles and sauce is a beverage, but the stadium’s total food ban is an airtight seal that even my genius cannot breach. Verdict: NO SPAGHETTI, though I shall fight this in the court of public opinion until the noodles are liberated.

Unofficial, untangled, and legally meaningless. Trust the real rules above.
