LAKELAND, Fla.—To provide a safer environment and to expedite fan entry, Southeastern University has implemented a clear bag policy for its athletic events.
Fans are encouraged not to bring any bags, but if they do, only clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bags that do not exceed 12? x 6? x 12? or a one-gallon clear plastic storage/freezer bag (Ziploc bag or similar) will be permitted. Small purses and clutch bags no larger than 4.5? x 6.5? (roughly the size of an adult hand) are also permitted along with medically necessary items (after proper inspection at Gate 1).
A logo no larger than 4.5" x 3.4" can be displayed on one side of a permissible clear bag. Each guest may enter with one approved clear bag plus a small clutch purse.
