All iPads Any chance if i wanna take my iPad to me to a sports stadium with strict policies, would any one of these two these cases be fine?

I would like to find out if I can take my iPad to a sports stadium with any of these two cases I have which i attached onto here. These cases can carry any of my belonging, my phone, wallet, etc and i’d like to have this type of case for traveling. Would it work out or not?

Have you looked at the rules for the stadiums you have in mind? Most have differing restrictions on what you are allowed to bring in.

Most only allow clear bags but i don’t see anything when it comes to cases which is where I see a good chance for it to be ok

I'm in Seattle where the Seahawks stadium rules say "Laptops are prohibited, but tablets (i.e. Surface, iPad) without a case are permitted."

Here in NY, I think laptops are permitted without cases and tablets, they don't say anything about it but I have an odd feeling tablets will follow suit with laptops but i will have to look.

You could get one of those coats that has all the pockets for gadgets…but you might get kicked out for being too much of a dork!

It seems like overkill taking a tablet when your phone could probably accomplish the same things you want to do. But, to each their own.

I guess the question is, why do you want to bring the iPad into the stadium? I have seen people using iPads as cameras at arenas before, but they're not the best.

I've tried taking an SLR into arenas with varying degrees of success. A few years back, I brought my Canon DSLR with a small camera bag into the Air Canada Centre in Toronto for WWE Smackdown with no issues, until I put on the telephoto lens. That's when security came up to me and told me "professional cameras" weren't allowed, and I had to take the camera to the coat check area.

After that, I've managed to bring in my Sony NEX-6 with the 50 mm lens. Security thinks its a point and shoot, so they leave me alone. If I have seats in the first or second row, it works great!

I personally wanted to have like a second device to go with my phone. Only other option for me would then become a gaming console. Either or is fine.

But what do you need it for? What can it to that the phone can’t? You pay a lot of money to watch a game but you rather have you phone and tablet at hand to play with? I really don’t get what you’re trying to accomplish.

The OP didn't ask for opinions on whether or not he should take and iPad to a stadium. Wow!

My first response wasn't helpful, either, though.

I would assume that many stadiums would consider that "case" to be a bag. It holds thing and has a handle. You'd probably have to haggle them, and I'm not sure it would be worth it -- that would lead back to the question of 'why,' I suppose.
