Syracuse University announced a new plan this Thursday morning to increase public safety at the Carrier Dome. Starting this football season, SU will be implementing a clear bag policy and walkthrough metal detectors at the stadium.
“Safety is our number one concern for anything we do,” said Pete Sala, SU vice president and chief campus facilities officer.
A spokesperson for SU Athletics said SU season ticket owners will receive the bags prior SU football’s season opener against Western Michigan on Sept. 8 following a “soft rollout period.” The remainder of the bags will be sold for three dollars at various SU campus locations — the Shaw Quadrangle, the SU bookstore and various Carrier Dome merchandise stores.
