Little Caesars Arena is home to the NBA Detroit Pistons and NHL Detroit Red Wings teams at 2645 Woodward Ave, Detroit, MI 48201. The bag policy at Little Caesars Arena is strict, where they only allow wallets and clutches that don’t exceed 4″ x 6″ x 1.5″ into the venue. That means traditional purses, backpacks, clutches, tote bags, and more can’t come into the venue for any game or concert. However, the exception to the bag policy rule and size is if you need to bring a medical or diaper bag into the arena.
Here is the complete Little Caesars Arena bag policy guide for your next event.
