BTW the best thing to do is carry your stuff in and put them in the huge ziplock bags, take the bag in folded. I have used comforter bags in the past but it got confiscated last year so it's hard to say and I think it tends to be subjective.

Yes Ive been there at least once a year for games since 05'. We are coming up for the Eagles game. It sounds like the bag check is a good thing,. Is it easy and how much does it cost?
