All the strict rules Super Bowl fans will have to follow to attend the game

If you’re fortunate enough to have landed a Super Bowl ticket, there’s a few rules you’ll need to adhere to.

After seeing off the Washington Commanders by a monster score of 55 - 23, the Philadelphia Eagles booked their spot in the Super Bowl.

While the Kansas City Chiefs left it late against the Bills to secure their 7th Super Bowl appearance.

Super Bowl rivalry renewed

We’ve seen the Chiefs and Eagles face off in the final only once before, and that was two years ago when the Chiefs triumphed against their rivals in an epic bout.

The Chiefs left it late again that day, winning by 38 to 35 - with 17 of those coming in the final quarter, where the Eagles could only muster eight.

The rivalry will be resumed on Sunday (February 9), will the Eagles make it two Super Bowls or will the Chiefs add a fifth to their trophy cabinet?

Clear Bags

If you're bringing a bag to the game with you, you must make sure it's see-through and the correct size.

The venue explains: "The Superdome is fully compliant with the NFL’s “All Clear” bag policy for NFL games. This is a league-wide policy that applies to all stadiums.

"Any bag other than a clear vinyl bag (12”x12”x6”), and clutch bags/purses larger than a 4.5” x 6.5” is prohibited."

Smoking

There is no smoking allowed on the premises of the Superdrome - that's inside and outside, including the use of electronic cigarettes and vapes.

Re-entry

The stadium follows a no re-entry rule, but in the event that a fan needs to exit they must first be referred to an 'experience ambassador' or 'ticket supervisor', and assigned to a particular gate.

There they will then approve your exit and return if warranted.

The venue cited the following examples of reasons someone may leave the ground:

• Medical emergencies such as needing medication
• Service animal needs to go potty
