SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Wofford College will institute a clear bag policy for all events at Gibbs Stadium and Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium starting with Wofford's home opening game against The Citadel on September 1.
 
The policy will help enhance existing security measures and ensure a safe environment for all guests while making for a quicker entry into the venues. The policy will be in effect for all Wofford athletic contests as well as special events.
 
Similar policies are already in effect at many professional, college and high school stadiums and arenas in the area.
 
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.
 
For the first two home football games, 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.
