WACO, Texas - To provide a safer environment and to expedite security checkpoints for fan entry, Baylor Athletics will implement a clear bag policy for all ticketed athletic events starting this Fall 2018. This new policy is in line with best practices at major athletics and entertainment venues across the country.
"We want our guests to have an amazing experience on game day," said
Henry Howard, Associate AD for Capital Projects and Championships. "The foundation of that experience is providing a safe and secure venue. Adopting a clear bag policy will help us to ensure each guests' safety so that they can create positive lasting memories."
Under this policy, fans may carry one clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag no larger than 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches, or a one-gallon, re-sealable plastic freezer bag. Small clutches approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap, measuring no larger than 4½ inches by 6½ inches, are also permitted. Exceptions will be made for medically necessary bags or equipment, which will be inspected upon gate entry.
Â
Prohibited items include, but are not limited to, large purses or bags beyond the permissible size, backpacks, drawstring bags, non-clear tote bags, mesh bags, fanny packs, camera bags, diaper bags, chairbacks, and strollers. Guests carrying prohibited bags will be asked to return those items to their vehicle.
Approved bags are available for purchase at the
Baylor Bookstore and at Bruiser's Locker Room in McLane Stadium.
