When I go to my daughters High School football games to watch her cheer, root for our team, support our school, and enjoy the Friday night lights with friends, having a well-packed clear bag is a game-changer. Here are my top 8 essentials to make sure I’m set for a winning night:
- Phone & Portable Charger
So I can capture all the action and stay connected. My battery can drain fast when snapping pics and videos of the cheer team, so a small portable charger keeps me powered up all night. - ID & Cash/Card
Some stadiums don’t accept digital payment methods, so having a small amount of cash or a card can be a lifesaver for quick snacks or merch. I also make sure I have my 2024/2025 Sports Pass for all home games. - Mini First Aid Kit
Band-aids, ibuprofen, and sanitizer wipes are all must-haves. You never know when you’ll need a quick fix, and for those of you who don’t know…Cheer is a contact sport! - Warm Layer or Poncho
With Fall here, weather can turn quickly! A foldable poncho or a compact blanket or scarf keeps me comfortable through unexpected rain or chilly evenings. - Sunscreen & Lip Balm
For early games under the sun, my Colorscience Sunforgetable powder sunscreen and lip balm keep my skin protected. No one wants a sunburn under the stadium lights! - Reusable Water Bottle
I like to stay hydrated through the game. Many schools and stadiums have refill stations, so I can keep my water bottle handy without paying stadium prices. - Snacks
A few snacks like popcorn or trail mix are great for keeping hunger at bay, especially when I’m watching multiple games or a long event. - Team Spirit Gear
Supporting your team is way more fun when you’re geared up and ready to go!
Packing your stadium-approved clear bag with these essentials means you can enjoy the game without stress.
