What Are The Bag & Security Policies At Lucas Oil Stadium?

Avoid delays and be prepared when you head to Lucas Oil. Along with the basics - no smoking, weapons, or illegal substances - here are a few other things to know:

  • Bags: Clear bags (totes, fanny packs, backpacks, and 1-gallon storage bags) are allowed but must be no larger than 12”x6”x12”. Clutch purses up to 5.5”x8.5” are also acceptable. You can pick up a clear security bag at the Fan Fest, the March Madness Music Festival, Lucas Oil Stadium, and select information centers.
  • Ticketing: All individuals must have a ticket to enter Final Four games, regardless of age. Duplicate or unlicensed tickets will result in expulsion. Play it safe and get your seats from Only Indy Tickets.
  • Re-entry: There is no re-entry into ticketed events at Lucas Oil Stadium or the Final Four Fan Fest.
  • Keep it clean: Profanity may result in expulsion; obscene or indecent clothing or signs are prohibited.

The most important rule you need to follow is this: Have a great time in Indianapolis! Get loud, enjoy yourself, and watch the next chapter of college basketball history unfold.
