Vanderbilt Stadium Bag Policy 2019

Game Day Essentials: Navigating Vanderbilt Stadium's Bag Policy in 2019

Alright, Commodore fans, let's talk turkey. You've got your black and gold, your tailgate game is on point, but there's one more thing to tick off your list before you can cheer on the 'Dores at Vanderbilt Stadium. We're talking about the bag policy, of course. Don't worry, we've got you covered with this easy-breezy guide that's as fun as a two-minute drill.

First Things First: The Bag Itself

Let's start with the basics. Vanderbilt Stadium follows the NCAA's clear bag policy, which is about as straightforward as a Hail Mary pass. Here's what you need to know:

  • Bags must be clear, meaning you can see right through them. Think of it like a crystal ball, but for your stuff, not your future.
  • They can be made of clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC. No opaque bags allowed, folks. It's like trying to sneak in a hidden compartment on an airport scanner.
  • The bag's size? It should be no larger than 12" x 6" x 12". That's about the size of a small backpack or a large purse. Not sure? Just remember, if it's bigger than a small child, it's probably too big.

Now, you might be thinking, "But I love my designer bag!" We feel you, but remember, this is for your safety and security. Plus, think of it as an excuse to upgrade your game day style. You could even match it to your Commodore gear. Now that's a power couple.

What Can I Bring?

Now that we've got the bag situation sorted, let's talk about what you can bring inside. Here's a quick rundown:

  • Binoculars (because who doesn't love a good close-up of the action?)
  • Cameras (just remember, no flash photography during the game. You don't want to blind our poor quarterback!)
  • Phones (obviously. Gotta capture those epic touchdown moments, right?)
  • Keys (but please, no keychains that could be used as a weapon. Safety first, folks.)
  • Credit cards and cash (because you're gonna need some serious snack money. Have you seen the prices at the concession stands?)

And here's a fun fact for you: Did you know that Vanderbilt Stadium has free Wi-Fi? That's right, you can stay connected while you're cheering on the 'Dores. Just look for the 'VandyWiFi' network. Isn't technology grand?

What's Off-Limits?

Alright, now let's talk about what you can't bring. Here's a quick list:

  • Bags that aren't clear (we've covered this, but it's important!)
  • Alcohol (sorry, folks. Tailgating is one thing, but the stadium is a dry zone.)
  • Weapons of any kind (that includes things like pepper spray, pocket knives, and even selfie sticks that could be used as a weapon. Safety first, remember?)
  • Large signs or banners (small signs are okay, but anything that could obstruct someone's view is a no-no.)
  • Noise-makers (that means no air horns, whistles, or vuvuzelas. Sorry, South Africa.)

Now, you might be thinking, "But what about my trusty old stadium seat cushion?" We've got you covered there too. As long as it's not in a bag (and let's be real, who wants to carry a bag just for a cushion?), it's okay to bring it in. Just make sure it's not one of those giant ones that takes up half your row. You don't want to be that person, do you?

What If I've Got a Medical Need?

We get it, sometimes you need to bring in something that doesn't fit the clear bag policy. If that's the case, don't worry. Vanderbilt Stadium has a policy for that too. You can bring in a small, non-clear bag for medical reasons, as long as it's no larger than 6" x 6" x 6". Just make sure you have your medical ID or a note from your doctor. It's like a hall pass for your stuff.

And here's a pro tip for you: If you're not sure about something, just ask. The Vanderbilt Stadium staff is there to help, and they're more than happy to answer your questions. They might even give you a fun fact or two about the stadium. Did you know that Vanderbilt Stadium was once home to the NFL's Houston Oilers? True story.

So, There You Have It

Navigating Vanderbilt Stadium's bag policy is as easy as a 50-yard field goal. Just remember: clear bags, no larger than 12" x 6" x 12", and you're good to go. Now, go forth and enjoy the game, Commodore fans. And remember, whether you're cheering on the 'Dores or just navigating the ups and downs of daily life, it's all about staying flexible and rolling with the punches. Just like a good quarterback.
