NFL stadium rules: gate times, bag policy and cashless

23 of the 30 NFL stadiums open their gates 2 hours before kickoff; 6 open just 90 minutes before, and Levi's Stadium sets the time game by game. 29 allow the NFL's clear bag (up to 12 x 6 x 12 inches); Raymond James Stadium allows no bag at all beyond a small clutch. 29 are officially cashless.

How this list is built

Each stadium's gate time, bag rule and payment rule come from the team's or stadium's own game day page, linked from that stadium's bag policy page here. Gate times are for general admission at regular-season games; plazas, clubs and suites often open earlier, noted under the time. Teams change these rules between seasons, so the table is checked against the official pages each month.
