The Kentucky State University athletic department has announced the KSU Board of Regents have approved a clear bag policy for their sporting events, effective immediately. The first game under the new policy will be Saturday's football game with Central State University at Alumni Stadium.

Under the policy, fans will be allowed to bring with them a clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bag that does not exceed 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches, or a one-gallon plastic bag (such as Ziploc bags). The bags may have a logo on one side that is no larger than 4.5 inches by 3.4 inches. Bags carrying a properly sized logo of other teams or venues are permitted.

Small clutches — 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches, or approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap — also can be taken into the stadium along with clear bags.
Prohibited items include, but are not limited to, purses larger than a clutch bag, coolers, briefcases, backpacks, fanny packs, drawstring bags, luggage of any kind, computer bags, camera bags, binocular cases, diaper bags, plastic grocery store bags, reusable bags or totes and bags larger than the permissible size. Items in such bags — including diapers, wipes and other supplies for babies and small children — should be placed in an approved clear bag.

Seat cushions measuring 16 by 16 inches are permitted, as are binoculars and cameras without cases. Blankets will be permitted but subject to a search.
Guests are encouraged to bring only necessary items into the venues, and all fans and their belongings are subject to inspection at the entrances.
