WKU implementing clear bag policy at all home football games

A new security measure will be in place for the upcoming Western Kentucky football season at Houchens-Smith Stadium.

If you plan on bringing multiple belongings with to the game, they must now be placed in a clear tote bag.

Stadium officials say they will also permit zip-lock bags that are no larger than 1 gallon. Women will still be permitted to carry a small clutch purse.

Many college football teams and every single NFL team already have the rule in place. 

WKU is offering free plastic bags to fans, while supplies last. They are available for pick-up at the Diddle Arena ticket office or the Hilltopper Athletic Foundation from 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. on weekdays.
