Bag Policy
SIZE OF BAGS
- Bags cannot be larger than an A4 piece of paper.
- If supporters bring rucksacks or backpacks which are bigger than an A4 piece of paper, they will be searched and tagged. If they are deemed to be too large, they will be searched, tagged and taken to a secure area for the duration of the event and are to be collected on departure from the stadium. If a bag is seen inside the ground without a tag it will be necessary for it to be searched and left in a secure area for collection on departure from the stadium.
Bag Search Procedures
- Searching of bags will only be conducted by appropriately qualified SIA-badged personnel.
- No bags held by under 16s will be searched without the prior approval of the person’s parent or carer.
- Search personnel will not put their hands into the bags. They should look inside the bag and request the spectator to take out any items of concern. (This measure is also to protect staff, so they do not injure themselves on sharp objects in the bag.)
- Bags will be retained at Leeds Rhinos Ticket Office for the duration of the event or until collected by the spectators on departure from the stadium.

Food and beverage concessions will be open throughout the full stadium and alcohol will be allowed to be consumed in stadium seats.
