The policy is consistent with the NFL's current model and the policy at many other college and professional stadiums. Fans will be permitted to enter with a clear bag that does not exceed 12" in height by 6" in depth by 12" in width. A simple one-gallon clear plastic bag, such as a Ziploc bag or similar, is acceptable. Fans will be allowed to carry in a small clutch bag, approximately the size of a hand or 4.5" by 6.5", with or without a handle or strap. An exception will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection at the game. Wofford will be providing 1,500 free clear bags thanks to Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System's Sports Medicine Institute. These bags will be available at all gates, as well as at the entrances to parking lots. For more information, including a list of approved and prohibited bags, please visit
