SECURITY CHECKS

Kroger Field Clear Bag Policy

This season, to improve public safety and help speed entry, the SEC has adopted a league-wide clear bag policy for all football games and we are implementing the policy accordingly at Kroger Field starting this fall. Each fan, will be permitted to carry one large clear bag – either a one-gallon Ziploc-style bag or a 12″ x 6″ x 12″ clear bag – plus a small clutch that does not exceed 4.5″ x 6.5″. A clear bag shall be clear from top-to-bottom and up to a 2″ trim/border on the bag is generally acceptable. The small clutch allows privacy for small personal items and is also easily searched. The policy has been in place in the NFL for the last few seasons and eight SEC schools also implemented it prior to league-wide implementation. Based on what we learned from those previous implementations, we wanted to communicate this change to you well in advance of the season. If you have any questions about the policy, please contact 859.218.3716 or BBNfirst@uky.edu
