Clear Bag Policy
Why did Central State University adopt this policy?
CSU reviews its public safety and stadium security policies every year looking for ways to improve them. The University strongly believes that the clear bag policy will enhance public safety and make stadium access more efficient. This proactive measure will enhance safety inside and outside the stadium and speed the security screening process for our fans. The public deserves to be in a safe, secure environment. We constantly look for ways to enhance stadium safety, and clear bags are part of best practices endorsed by security experts.

The clear bag policy has been adopted by the NFL and by many other venues that host entertainment events including college football games. Many other athletic programs implemented a clear bag policy starting the 2016 season. This new policy is certified by the Department of Homeland Security.

We thank you for your understanding and support.
