CLEAR BAG POLICY FAQ
Can I put my bag that is not compliant with the clear bag policy inside of a permissible clear bag to bring it in?
This is not permissible. A bag that does not meet the standards of the clear bag policy is considered a prohibited item and will not be allowed into the venue.
Are other events limiting bags?
Yes. The NFL has a clear bag policy and some SEC and other Autonomy 5 institutions have previously implemented a clear bag policy. Additionally, some Autonomy 5 institutions do not permit any bags to be brought inside the venue.
How does the new policy improve public safety?
The clear bag is easily searched and significantly reduces faulty bag searches. It also supports the Department of Homeland Security's "If You See Something, Say Something" campaign.
Do I have to put everything I'm carrying into the permissible bags?
No. Fans are limited only to the type of bags carried into the venue, not items that they may normally bring to a game that fit in pockets or clutch bags (e.g., keys, makeup, feminine products, comb, phone, wallet, credit cards). Fans may carry a blanket over their arms, and binoculars and/or camera around their necks or in their hands without the case. Fans may also use the clear bag and clutch to carry these items and other permissible items. Every member of the family may carry in a permissible bag.
What about diaper bags?
Diapers and non-medically necessary items for babies and young children must be carried in a clear bag. Each member of a family, including children, would be allowed to carry an approved clear bag and a clutch purse into the venue.
How many bags may each person bring into the venue?
One large clear bag - either a one-gallon Ziploc style bag or the 12" x 6" x 12" clear bag - plus a small clutch that does not exceed 4.5" x 6.5". The small clutch allows privacy for small personal items and also is easily searched.
May fans carry cameras, binoculars, smart phones/tablets separately from what they put in a clear bag?
Yes. A phone, binoculars or cameras may be carried into the venue as long as it is not in its own bag.
Are seat cushions allowed to be carried into the venue?
Fans should review each institution's prohibited items policy to determine if seat cushions are allowed.
What about bringing blankets in cold weather?
Fans will be able to bring blankets by tossing them over a shoulder or arm.
If I have certain items that I need to bring into the venue for medical reasons and they won't fit in the clear bag, what do I do?
There will be designated entrances to allow screening of these bags and medically necessary items.
Are all purses prohibited?
No. Small clutch purses, with or without a handle or strap, that do not exceed 4.5" x 6.5" are permitted along with either the 12" x 6" x 12" clear tote bag or the one-gallon freezer bag. Fans are encouraged not to bring any bags, but the policy has been created to balance fan needs with improved public safety and convenience.
Does this bag policy apply to credentialed individuals (e.g., media, staff)?
There will be an exception specifically for "credentialed" individuals who bring bags that do not meet the policy guidelines. However, their bags will still be searched prior to entry, and only bags that pass the inspection will be allowed into the venue.
Are there any exceptions to the clear bag rule for a medical reason?
Guests may bring in a bag that does not meet the clear bag specifications if it is required for a medical purpose. It is highly recommended that you call (573) 882-6501 in advance for more information and to be sure you qualify. Bags for a medical exception must go through a special screening process for football at Gate 2W or 2E. Even if a bag is for an approved medical reason, it will not be allowed to enter through any other gate.
