Fans of Southern Miss Athletics will have to abide by new fan safety measures when they attend home games for all sports this season.
A clear bag policy is the newest policy that will be implemented this season. Starting with the football home opener against Kentucky on Sep. 2, fans will only be permitted to bring a 12x6x12 clear plastic bag or a resealable clear storage bag that does not exceed one gallon in volume. Small clutch purses that do not exceed 4.5×6.5 inches will also be permitted inside athletic venues.
Fans who require essential medical equipment will be allowed to take those items into a venue after an inspection.
