Emporia State Athletics is adding a clear bag policy for its major entertainment and athletic facilities.
All ESU home games will now require fans to use clear bags to attend as a matter of what the university calls “a secure game-day environment for fans, student-athletes, coaches and event staff.”
Permitted Bags Include:
*Clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bags not exceeding 12″ x 6″ x 12″
*One-gallon clear plastic storage bags
*Small clutch bags approximately 4.5″ x 6.5″ (with or without a strap or handle)
*Medically necessary items (subject to inspection)
*Diaper bags accompanying an infant or small child (subject to inspection)
Prohibited Bags Include:
*Backpacks and drawstring bags
*Purses larger than the approved clutch size
*Duffel bags, tote bags, and camera bags
*Coolers and other non-transparent containers
*Any tinted, patterned, or opaque bags
Food & Beverage:
*Each guest may bring one unopened plastic bottle of water into the venue
*All other outside food or drink is not permitted
*Coolers, insulated cups, thermos bottles, and flasks are prohibited.
There will be no bag check available. All bags may be inspected. Fans who have “non-compliant” bags will be asked to take them back to their vehicles and won’t be allowed inside until they comply.
The home athletics schedule begins with ESU soccer hosting Maryville on Aug 29. Football begins its home schedule against Michigan Tech on Sept 12.
