Ohio University Stadium Bag Policy

So, you’re heading to Ohio University’s Peden Stadium for a game—fantastic! But before you grab your favorite tote and sprint out the door, let’s have a little chat about the stadium bag policy. Trust me, it’s way less stressful than trying to parallel park on Court Street during a homecoming weekend. 😅

Here’s the golden rule: clear bags only. Think of it like a fishbowl for your stuff. You’re allowed one clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag that’s no larger than 12” x 6” x 12”. That’s about the size of a small beach tote—or, you know, a really ambitious lunchbox. Pro tip: grab a cheap one at the campus bookstore on the way in, and save yourself the hassle of a walk of shame back to your car.

What about tiny purses? If it’s a clutch (fancy term for “mini-bag that barely holds your phone and a lip gloss”), it must be 4.5” x 6.5” or smaller. Yes, that’s a very specific measurement. I didn’t make it up—blame the safety folks who clearly have a thing for precision. And don’t even think about sneaking in a backpack or a diaper bag (unless it’s a clear one, in which case, diaper duty meets visibility chic).

Allowed items include phones, wallets, and snacks in clear bags. Forbidden? Large cameras, selfie sticks (thank goodness), and anything that looks like it might hold a secret sandwich. Also: no umbrellas. Rain is just part of the Bobcat experience—embrace it with a poncho like a true Midwestern warrior.

So here’s the uplifting part: once you master this bag policy, you’re an official game-day pro. You’ll breeze through the gate, find your seat, and feel a sense of pure, bag-related freedom. Go Bobcats! 🐾 Now, get out there, clear your bag, and clear your mind for some winning football. The only thing you’ll be carrying is team spirit—and maybe a little bit of stadium popcorn.
