Cal Athletics and the UCPD announced this morning that they will be adopting the NFL Bag policy that has been sweeping the college scene in recent years. Previously, while Memorial Stadium had already banned backpacks in 2014, they still allowed draw-string bags and non-clear plastic and re-usable bags inside the stadium. Furthermore, there were also no bag restrictions at Haas Pavilion. I know I’ve waltzed in with a large backpack with a laptop on Thursday/Friday nights. But no more.
From now on, only clear 12x12x6 bags will be allowed into Memorial AND Haas, effective next week when Cal Volleyball opens their season at home on August 26.
