University Of Wyoming Clear Bag Policy

So, you’re heading to a University of Wyoming football game, a concert, or a big campus event. You’ve got your wallet, your phone, and maybe a granola bar that’s been living in your purse since 2019. Then you see the sign: Clear Bag Policy. Don’t panic. This isn’t a buzzkill—it’s actually your best friend in disguise.

Why the fuss over a clear bag?

Think of it like this: you wouldn’t let a stranger rummage through your messy glove compartment. But when everyone uses a clear bag, security can quickly see what’s inside, and you get through the line faster. It’s the difference between waiting ten minutes and missing the kickoff.

That bag from your last beach vacation? It’s perfect. Grab it. You’ll feel like you’re smuggling snacks into a movie theater, but with total permission from the nice folks at the gate.

What counts as “clear” anyway?

A clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag that’s no larger than 12” x 6” x 12”. Think of it as a crystal-clear lunchbox for your belongings. You can also bring a small clutch (like the size of your hand) for your phone and lip balm.

Don’t show up with a muddy backpack from 2004. Please. That’s a quick way to walk your stuff back to the car—and nobody wants to miss the surprise halftime t-shirt toss.

What about diaper bags and medical needs?

You’re covered. Parents, you can bring a clear diaper bag plus the absolute necessities for your kiddo. Same goes for medically necessary items—just let security know (they’re trained to help, not hassle you).

One mom I know stashed a tiny clear pouch with baby wipes, a pacifier, and a juice box. She felt like a superhero when her toddler started fussing—no fumbling, no stress. Just victory.

But my favorite bag is NOT clear!

I hear you. That tote bag with the funny slogan? You’ll have to leave it at home or in the car. But think of the upside: you get to buy a cool new clear bag as a memory. UWyo even sells them in the bookstore with the bucking horse logo. Now you’re stylish and safe.

Plus, imagine how easy it is to find your keys. No more digging around in a bottomless pit. It’s like meditation for your search reflexes.

What if I forget?

Don’t worry—you’re not alone. They have a bag check outside the stadium for a small fee. But that means waiting in a separate line. And paying extra. And possibly watching the first touchdown from behind a fence.

Best advice: Plan ahead. The night before a big game, toss your clear bag by the door. It’s like putting your socks next to your gym clothes—you’ll thank yourself tomorrow.

Final thought

This policy isn’t about being a rulebook robot. It’s about safety with a side of sanity. When everyone plays by the same clear-bag rules, the lines move faster, the crowd stays happy, and you get to focus on what matters: cheering, dancing, and maybe spilling a little popcorn on your new sweatshirt.

So grab your clear bag, fill it with snacks and team spirit, and get ready for a great time. You’ve got this—and your bag’s got your back. Go Pokes!
