DETROIT (FOX 2) - It's not a good feeling when after the car ride, the pre-game revelry, the stress over parking, one finally gets to the front gate and they can't come in.
Or at least, their bag can't come in. It likely has some valuables inside. And now both the bag and probably the ticket holder will be stuck on the outside.

It's a scenario to avoid. And along with Comerica Park's bag policy, there are a bevy of other objects one can bring into the stadium. Here's a breakdown.
Bag policy
There's actually an exception to the bag policy. Medical and diaper bags are the only compartments that are allowed inside the park.
Every other bag or container bigger than a wallet cannot come in.
