Keep bags at home before going to a Golden Knights game at T-Mobile Arena.

The team said Monday bags and backpacks will not be allowed into the rink at the request of the National Hockey League. Small clutches and wallets will be permitted (5 inches by 9 inches by 2 inches maximum) and they will be manually screened.

The Knights’ regular-season opener is Tuesday against the Seattle Kraken. President Kerry Bubolz told the Review-Journal this offseason he didn’t enjoy the fact that the team couldn’t allow bags last year but praised fans for adjusting to new policies.

“I think what we learned was people can adapt to different things,” Bubolz said. “Did I like the fact that we had a no bag policy? No, I didn’t like that. But people adapted and we were able to manage through that.”
