The bag a door in Inglewood turns away walks into Seattle Center unopened. Climate Pledge Arena admits ONE BAG (clear or other) no larger than 14″ x 14″ x 6″, in the arena’s own capital letters, read September 2026.
The Climate Pledge Arena bag limit is one bag of 14 x 14 x 6 inches plus a clutch of 4 x 6 x 1.5 inches, read September 2026. That box is what Intuit Dome reserves for a medical or an infant bag. Two harder rules sit behind the generous one. No bag check appears on the four arena pages read for this guide, and exit and re-entry is not permitted.
Climate Pledge Arena admits one bag of 14 x 14 x 6 inches, clear or other
One bag of 14 x 14 x 6 inches enters Climate Pledge Arena, clear or other, alongside a clutch of 4 x 6 x 1.5 inches, read September 2026. A clutch sized bag clears the door fastest. A bag inside the larger box enters after screening. Anything above it returns to the garage, with no re-entry afterwards.
Climate Pledge Arena publishes the allowance as ONE BAG (clear or other), naming the material before the size, which makes transparency a permission rather than a requirement. Bags above the limit pass through X-ray screening, read September 2026.
That text sits under the bag policy anchor of the arena guide, beside a separate refusal list under the prohibited items anchor, read September 2026. The measurement decides what fits, and the refusal list decides what is inadmissible at any size.
Size and contents are judged separately here.
The Seattle everyday bag is the size Intuit Dome saves for a medical exception
Intuit Dome caps any personal bag at 10 x 6 x 2 inches, clear or opaque, and reserves 14 x 14 x 6 inches for medical and infant bags, read September 2026. Those are the three numbers Climate Pledge Arena prints for an ordinary tote.
Run the volumes and the gap stops being a matter of degree. A Seattle bag of 14 x 14 x 6 inches holds 1,176 cubic inches and an Inglewood bag of 10 x 6 x 2 inches holds 120, so the everyday allowance in Seattle is about 9.8 times the everyday allowance at Intuit Dome (Lot Opens calculation, September 2026). Our reading of the Intuit Dome 10 by 6 by 2 inch ceiling follows what that does to a family at the Inglewood screen.
Going north, almost nothing needs repacking. Going south, the camera bag that raised no question in Seattle needs a medical justification to survive the door.
Same inches, opposite meanings.
Transparency is optional in Seattle and a condition at the SoFi Stadium screen
Thirteen Western venues publish the same clear bag box of 12 x 6 x 12 inches, among them SoFi Stadium, the Kia Forum and Dodger Stadium, read September 2026. Climate Pledge Arena attaches no transparency requirement to any size, so the tote that solves those doors earns nothing extra in Seattle.
SoFi Stadium goes further than the box. A conforming bag there has to be fully transparent, with no tint, no hologram, no print and no leftover sticker, and its second allowance is a clutch of 4.5 x 6.5 inches, read September 2026. Our breakdown of the SoFi Stadium transparency clause sets out how a measured bag still fails on material.
The Kia Forum sits in the same district with a second bag of 9 x 6 inches beside the clear box, read September 2026, covered in our guide to the Kia Forum second bag allowance. Three doors within a couple of miles of each other, three answers, and none of them is the Seattle answer.
A clear bag is a purchase that travels badly.
What four Western doors admit, and who each allowance suits
| Venue and issuer, read September 2026 | Largest bag the rule admits | Second small bag the rule adds | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Climate Pledge Arena, Seattle | One bag of 14 x 14 x 6 inches, clear or other | Clutch, purse or wallet of 4 x 6 x 1.5 inches | Arriving with a day bag and no time to repack |
| Intuit Dome, Inglewood | Any personal bag of 10 x 6 x 2 inches, clear or opaque | n/a, the same ceiling covers every personal bag | Carrying a phone, a wallet and a key |
| SoFi Stadium, Inglewood | Clear bag of 12 x 6 x 12 inches, with no tint, hologram, print or sticker | Clutch of 4.5 x 6.5 inches | Anyone who owns an untinted transparent tote |
| Kia Forum, Inglewood | Clear bag of 12 x 6 x 12 inches | Second bag of 9 x 6 inches | Splitting a night across a clear tote and a small second bag |
Read the second column alone and Seattle wins for anyone arriving from an airport or a hotel checkout, because the bag already on the shoulder is almost certainly inside 14 x 14 x 6 inches. Read the third column and Intuit Dome wins for a visitor who carries nothing, since there is no second dimension to remember. Two of the twenty-seven Western venues Lot Opens reads from source reach the Seattle allowance, read September 2026: SAP Center at San Jose, which admits more, and Moda Center, which prints the same 14 by 14 by 6 inches for any event that is not basketball and drops to 10 by 6 by 2 inches for a Trail Blazers or a WNBA game.
One table, two different winners.
Medical bags and diaper bags lift the size cap and keep the screening
Medical bags and diaper or parenting bags are an express exception to the 14 x 14 x 6 inch limit at Climate Pledge Arena, and they still require inspection, read September 2026. The exception moves the tape measure. It does not move the queue.
Every bag above the published limit goes through X-ray screening, in the arena’s own wording, read September 2026, and the exception buys no way around that lane. A parent with a full diaper bag is holding an admissible object and a slower one.
A medical or infant bag of 14 x 14 x 6 inches is the exception at Intuit Dome and the ordinary allowance in Seattle, read September 2026. A carer who plans around the Inglewood exception is already inside the Seattle norm and never has to invoke anything at the door.
One building’s exception is another building’s default.
No bag check appears on the four Climate Pledge Arena pages read for this guide
Four Climate Pledge Arena pages were read in September 2026, the transportation page, the arena guide, the frequently asked questions and the plan your trip page. None publishes a bag check, a locker or a holding price. The only storage named covers strollers.
Strollers that do not fit under a seat are held at Guest Services desks, with no price attached, read September 2026. What the arena does with an oversized backpack is not stated on the pages read, which is narrower than saying the building has nothing.
Four Western venues do put a number on the same problem.
| Venue and issuer, read September 2026 | What it publishes for a bag the door refuses | Does the fallback need a vehicle |
|---|---|---|
| Climate Pledge Arena, Seattle | n/a, no bag check and no locker on the four pages read | Yes, the car is the only destination the pages name |
| Chase Center, San Francisco | Bag check on a $10 donation | No, a staffed counter |
| Oracle Park, San Francisco | A flat $12 to hold a refused bag | No, a named storage point |
| Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles | Binbox lockers from $15 | No, lockers outside the building |
| Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas | Bag check at $20 per bag | No, staffed check points |
Chase Center charges the smallest published amount of the four, and our look at the Chase Center bag check donation follows what that counter does for an arrival on foot. Seattle has no equivalent line to read.
Exit and re-entry is not permitted, which makes the garage walk a one way trip
Exit and re-entry is not permitted at Climate Pledge Arena, in the arena’s own sentence, read September 2026. A guest who steps out to leave something in a vehicle does not come back on the same ticket.
Three garages carry names rather than letters, and two of them belong to the arena. The Arena Garage is reached from underneath the building and offers electric vehicle charging at no cost, the 1st Ave N Garage sits across Lenny Wilkens Way south of the arena, and the 5th Ave Garage is operated by Seattle Center on the east side of campus, read September 2026. The arena publishes no Lot A and no Lot B at 334 1st Ave N, only those three names.
The underground garage holds 450 spaces and the 1st Avenue North Garage holds 550, according to the arena’s frequently asked questions, read September 2026. The 5th Ave Garage carries no published capacity, so no campus total exists to quote.
Price is where the page goes quiet. Hourly and daily rates available starting at $7 per hour + tax is the published figure, in a window of 6AM to 12AM, and it is the rate outside an event, read September 2026. For an event, the arena sends a visitor to pre-purchase through its links or the Kraken + CPA Mobile App and prints no rate beside them. Six Western venues publish a parking rate, Chase Center, Levi’s Stadium, Dodger Stadium, Angel Stadium, Crypto.com Arena and Snapdragon Stadium, and Seattle is not among them.
Two door clocks at Seattle Center, 90 minutes for the Kraken and 60 for the Storm
All doors open 90 minutes prior to puck drop at a Kraken game and 60 minutes prior to tipoff at a Storm game, according to Climate Pledge Arena, read September 2026. One building, two published clocks, and the variable is the team rather than the calendar.
The window to fix a bag mistake is the window before doors. A Kraken visitor who fails on size has 90 minutes of margin, a Storm visitor has 60, and anyone who applied the hockey clock to a basketball night stands outside for 30 minutes (Lot Opens calculation, September 2026).
The ticket carries a King County transit pass, valid for all publicly ticketed events including concerts, and the pass runs from 2 hours before doors open until 2 hours after the event, read September 2026. Cross the two published figures and the pass opens 3.5 hours, or 210 minutes, before puck drop at a Kraken game and 180 minutes before tipoff at a Storm game (Lot Opens calculation, September 2026).
No other venue in the bank includes the ride in the ticket.
Rideshare pick up leaves 1st Ave N alone for 45 minutes after the event ends
Rideshare drop off before an event happens at four points, Republican St and Warren Ave N, the MoPOP turnaround, Mercer St at the McCaw Hall Drop Off Zone and Denny Way at the Pacific Science Center Drop Off Zone, read September 2026. Pick up afterwards happens at two, and they open later.
For 45 minutes after an event, rideshare vehicles are prohibited from picking up riders on 1st Ave N, and the two pick up points are the MoPOP Museum and the Space Needle on Broad St, according to Climate Pledge Arena, read September 2026. Twenty of the twenty-seven venues publish a figure counted from the end of an event, and Seattle is one of them, which is more than SoFi Stadium manages, because SoFi Stadium publishes no figure of that kind at all.
The consequence lands on the bag rather than on the ride. A visitor who came by rideshare has no vehicle to walk an oversized bag back to. The monorail is the other way out, a 90-second ride between downtown Seattle and Seattle Center that takes ORCA, cards and contactless payment, read September 2026.
What the monorail does not publish on those pages is a last departure or a fare.
Details from the same four pages that change what a Seattle group carries in
- Measure the depth before the width. The published limit is 14 x 14 x 6 inches, read September 2026, and 6 inches is the dimension a hard camera case runs into first.
- Treat the clutch as a second bag rather than a substitute. One clutch, purse or wallet of 4 x 6 x 1.5 inches enters alongside the main bag, read September 2026.
- Decide what stays in the vehicle while the vehicle is still open, because exit and re-entry is not permitted, read September 2026.
- Pull the transit pass in the Kraken + CPA App before leaving the hotel. It runs from 2 hours before doors open, which on a Kraken night is 210 minutes before puck drop (Lot Opens calculation, September 2026).
- Check which team is playing before setting an alarm. Doors run 90 minutes before puck drop for the Kraken and 60 minutes before tipoff for the Storm, read September 2026.
- Read the prohibited items anchor as well as the bag policy anchor. They are separate lists on the arena guide, and the first refuses objects at any size.
Where a Seattle bag plan comes apart between the garage and the turnstile
- Buying a clear tote for Seattle. The published rule reads clear or other, so transparency earns no extra inches at Climate Pledge Arena, read September 2026.
- Packing to the Inglewood habit. Intuit Dome caps a personal bag at 10 x 6 x 2 inches and Seattle allows about 9.8 times that volume (Lot Opens calculation, September 2026).
- Assuming a medical or diaper bag skips the scanner. The size cap is lifted and the inspection is not, read September 2026.
- Planning to check the bag on arrival. No bag check, locker or holding price appears on the four arena pages read in September 2026.
- Setting the arrival by the wrong team. A Storm night opens 60 minutes before tipoff and a Kraken night 90 minutes before puck drop, read September 2026.
- Reading the $7 per hour figure as an event rate. That is the hourly rate outside an event, in a 6AM to 12AM window, and no event parking price appears on the four pages read, read September 2026.
Which Climate Pledge Arena pages carried each rule in this guide
The allowance of 14 x 14 x 6 inches, the clutch of 4 x 6 x 1.5 inches, the clear or other wording, the medical and diaper bag exception, the X-ray condition, the stroller storage at Guest Services and the sentence about exit and re-entry come from the Climate Pledge Arena arena guide, read September 2026.
The three named garages, the electric vehicle charging, the 1st Ave N Garage across Lenny Wilkens Way, the Seattle Center operation of the 5th Ave Garage, the $7 per hour plus tax non event rate, the 6AM to 12AM window, the rideshare drop off points, the two pick up points and the 45 minute ban on 1st Ave N, the monorail and the King County transit pass come from the transportation and plan your trip pages of the same issuer, read September 2026. The 450 spaces and the 550 spaces come from its frequently asked questions.
Three things appear on none of the four pages. There is no event parking price, no bag check or locker, and no last departure or fare for the monorail or the light rail. Comparison figures for Intuit Dome, SoFi Stadium, the Kia Forum, Dodger Stadium, Chase Center, Oracle Park, Crypto.com Arena and Allegiant Stadium come from each venue’s own published rule and are named beside each one above.
The figures in this guide were verified in September 2026 against the sources named in each section. Bag rules change by event and by promoter, door times change with the team playing, and venue pages are rewritten without notice; check the issuer’s page before you travel.
Bag questions Kraken and Storm ticket holders ask before the doors open
Six answers taken from the arena guide, the transportation page, the frequently asked questions and the plan your trip page, read September 2026, covering the 14 x 14 x 6 inch allowance, the two door clocks and the storage the arena does not publish.
One bag no larger than 14 x 14 x 6 inches enters Climate Pledge Arena, clear or other, plus one small clutch, purse or wallet no larger than 4 x 6 x 1.5 inches, read September 2026. Bags above that limit pass through X-ray screening, and no bag check appears on the four arena pages read.
No. The published allowance reads one bag, clear or other, so transparency is an option rather than a condition, read September 2026. A tote bought for SoFi Stadium, where the clear bag measures 12 x 6 x 12 inches and has to be fully transparent, earns no extra inches in Seattle.
Yes, both are named as an express exception to the size limit, and both are still inspected, read September 2026. Medical bags and parenting bags enter above 14 x 14 x 6 inches, and every bag over the published limit goes through X-ray. The exception lifts the tape measure, not the screening.
No bag check, locker or holding price appears on the four Climate Pledge Arena pages read in September 2026. The only storage named covers strollers that do not fit under a seat, held at Guest Services desks. The remaining destination is the vehicle, and exit and re-entry is not permitted.
An everyday bag of 14 x 14 x 6 inches enters Climate Pledge Arena, read September 2026, while Intuit Dome reserves those same inches for a medical or infant bag and caps any personal bag at 10 x 6 x 2 inches. The Seattle norm is the Inglewood exception, about 9.8 times the volume (Lot Opens calculation, September 2026).
The four Climate Pledge Arena pages read for this guide carry no bag check, no locker and no holding price, so nothing on site turns the mistake into money. Chase Center charges a $10 donation, Oracle Park a flat $12, Crypto.com Arena lockers from $15 and Allegiant Stadium $20 per bag, each read September 2026.
A wide door and a silent counter move the cost of a packing mistake
Generosity at the screen and forgiveness behind it are separate properties, and Climate Pledge Arena has the first one. Almost nothing gets refused at 14 x 14 x 6 inches, so few visitors ever need a fallback. For those who do, the four pages read in September 2026 name no counter, no locker and no price, and the rule against re-entry closes the only route left.
The trade reads differently by arrival. A driver parked in the Arena Garage still has somewhere to put the bag. A visitor who rode in on the King County pass, valid until 2 hours after the event, has no vehicle at all, so the ride included in the ticket is the thing that removes the fallback.
