MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - To provide a safer environment for Mountaineer fans and to expedite entry into all ticketed WVU athletic events, the West Virginia Department of Intercollegiate Athletics will implement the NFL’s Clear Bag Policy starting with the 2017-18 season.
Following the NFL’s lead along with other professional and collegiate programs, WVU’s clear bag policy limits the size and type of bags that fans may bring into an athletic venue. The policy has been proven to enhance public safety and make it easier for fans to gain access to events.
“Fan safety and enjoyment is a top priority for us,” Director of Athletics Shane Lyons said.
