If you’re bringing in a bag, it must follow the NFL’s Clear Bag policy:

Small clutch bags that aren’t bigger than 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches, with or without a handle or strap. These can be carried into Arrowhead Stadium.

Blankets, but you have to carry them.

Arrowhead Stadium also doesn’t allow fans to bring in offensive or obscene clothes, banners or signs with language that include someone’s race, ethnicity, color, gender, religion, creed, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender expression or national origin.
The same applies to apparel or banners that are intended to instigate, incite or encourage physical confrontation. This includes headdresses and face paint styled in a way that appropriates American Indian cultures.
WHERE DO I PARK?
There’s a lot of parking space outside the stadium, but it fills up fast. Parking passes for every game cost $47, and you can buy these before you arrive. The toll booths don’t accept cash.
The parking lots open four and a half hours before kickoff and close one hour after the game ends. The lots are for ticketed guests only. Any offensive signs and banners, including the Confederate flag are prohibited from being displayed.
Depending on the type of parking pass you have, park in the following lots:
Red parking passes are designated for Red portions of Lots A, B, C, D, F, G, J, L, N and O. Grass parking is permitted in limited areas around the complex.
Gold parking passes are designated for Gold lots near the front of Lots B, C, D, F, G and all of lot H.
Platinum parking passes are lot specific for either parking in Lot M or Lot E.
Bus and RV parking passes are designated for the bus or RV area, which is located on Lancer Lane next to Kauffman Stadium and will continue onto the right-hand side of the road of North Dubiner Circle.
Accessible parking is also available, but on a first-come, first-serve basis like the lots listed above.
