Clear Bag Policy
Boston College Athletics is dedicated to continuous improvement when it comes to the safety and security of our student-athletes, staff, and guests on game days. As such, a clear bag policy was introduced and implemented with the start of the 2019-20 academic year and is consistent with policies at every other ACC institution and major event facilities in the Boston-area and worldwide.
The athletics event bag policy will be enforced at all reserved ticketed events which includes football, men’s and women’s basketball, and men’s ice hockey.
The following bags are approved but will still be subject to search upon entry:
· Any clear plastic bag that does not exceed 12”x12”x6”.
· One-gallon sized zip bags that do not exceed 11”x11”.
· Small clutch bag, wristlet, or handheld wallet that does not exceed 8”x5”x2”.
Guests are encouraged to only bring necessary items to an athletic event while keeping in mind that everything is subject to search and inspection.
Exceptions will be made for medically necessary bags or equipment that are too large to fit into a clear bag. Guests should obtain a letter of approval from the facilities and operations team by emailing athoper@bc.edu. Diaper bags will also be allowed, however must be accompanied with a child.
