    Ladies, this particularly relates to you. The Linc has VERY strict rules about the size and transparency of handbags allowed inside the stadium. So, although you may want to show off the Eagles-logo Dooney & Burke tote, you'll likely be forced to take it back to the car. Instead, opt for a clear plastic purse, the smaller the better. A DIY version can be made using a Zip Lock bag and a shoelace. BOOM! Instant clutch.
