The SEC has a new rule in place.
The conference announced Wednesday that it will implement a new security policy regulating the size and type of bag that may be carried into the stadium.
The policy, approved by a unanimous vote of the league’s athletic directors, will go into effect beginning with the 2017 season.
“SEC football stadiums are among the largest venues in the world of sports, so safety and security are issues that must always remain a priority for our events,” SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said in a statement. “We believe this policy is an important enhancement to the security measures already put in place by our institutions.
