University Of Wyoming Football Stadium Bag Policy

There’s something genuinely enjoyable about heading to a University of Wyoming football game. The crisp Laramie air, the brown and gold sea in the stands, and the roar of the crowd make it an event. But let’s be honest—nothing kills that pre-game buzz faster than digging through your bag at the gate. That's exactly why the new bag policy is so widely appreciated. It’s not a hassle; it’s a game-changer for getting you into War Memorial Stadium with less stress and more time for a hot dog.

At its core, the policy is about safety and speed. By limiting what you can bring, security staff can focus on potential threats without making every fan wait forever. The benefit? Shorter lines, happier fans, and a safer environment for everyone. For families, this means less time wrestling with toddler tantrums at the entrance. For students, it means sprinting from the tailgate to your seat in record time. Even the vendors benefit, as fewer oversized bags mean clearer walkways.

Don’t worry—you don’t need to show up empty-handed. The policy allows clear plastic bags (like the classic 12”x6”x12” grocery tote) and small clutches no larger than 4.5”x6.5”. Many fans swear by a simple drawstring bag that meets the spec. If you forget, the stadium often sells approved bags at the gate, but that costs extra. Pro tip: grab a clear stadium bag from the campus bookstore for under $10—it’s a one-time investment for the whole season.

Common variations include exceptions for medical or diaper bags, which are allowed after inspection. Just be ready to open every pocket and have a little patience. Also, note that binocular cases and camera bags must be stowed inside your clear bag—no separate mini-pouches allowed at your hip. Knowing these details keeps you from being the person sent back to the car.

To make the most of it, pack the night before. Keep your phone charger, sunscreen, and a light jacket in your approved bag—nothing else. Arrive 30 minutes early to breeze through security and grab a seat. You’ll thank yourself when you’re settled in time for the marching band’s first note.

Ultimately, this policy turns a once-chaotic entry into a simple, efficient routine. It’s a small adjustment that yields big rewards: more football, less fuss. So grab your clear bag, yell “Go Pokes,” and enjoy the game without a second thought about what’s in your tote.
