U Of U Clear Bag Policy

Hey there, Utes! Grab a coffee, pull up a chair, and let's chat about this clear bag policy that's been buzzing around campus. You know, the one that's got us all asking, "What's in your bag?"

So, what's the deal with these clear bags?

Alright, so picture this: you're at the big game, the crowd's hyped, and suddenly, security's asking you to open your bag. Awkward, right? Well, that's what the U of U wants to avoid. They're not trying to spoil the fun, just keep everyone safe and secure.

Here's the lowdown: the clear bag policy is all about making it easier for security to check what's inside your bag without having to rummage through it. It's like they're saying, "Hey, we trust you, but let's make this quick and easy for everyone."

But what if my bag isn't clear?

Don't panic! If your bag isn't clear, you've got a couple of options. You can grab a free clear bag at the game - yes, free! Just head to the guest services booth. Or, you can leave your bag at home. Trust me, your shoulders will thank you later.

Now, you might be thinking, "What if my bag is clear, but it's got a cute little pattern on it?" Well, here's the thing: the bag has to be translucent. So, if you can't see through it, it's not clear enough. Sorry, folks, but no sneakily patterned bags this time.

What can I bring in my clear bag?

Great question! Here's where it gets interesting. You can bring in the usual suspects: your wallet, keys, phone, and even a small clutch or purse (no bigger than 4.5" x 6.5"). But here's where it gets fun - you can also bring in a refillable water bottle, a small camera, and even a seat cushion. Just make sure it all fits inside your clear bag.

Security Measures

Now, you might be wondering, "What about food and drink?" Well, you can bring in food and drink, but only in clear bags, of course. And no outside alcohol, folks. The U wants to keep the fun, but also keep everyone safe and responsible.

Anything else I should know?

You betcha! Here are a few more quick tips:

• If you've got medical supplies or equipment, you can bring them in, but you'll need to go through a separate screening area. Just let security know, and they'll help you out.
• Strollers are allowed, but they'll be inspected, and you might have to leave them outside the venue.
• If you've got questions or need help, just ask! The U's got a great team of folks ready to lend a hand.

And there you have it, folks! The clear bag policy in a nutshell. It's all about keeping us safe, secure, and having a fantastic time at the game. So, grab your clear bag, fill it up with your game-day essentials, and let's go Utes!
