Kansas’ athletic department is adopting a clear-bag policy for all ticketed sporting events starting this fall, associate athletic director Jim Marchiony said Wednesday.
Previously, security personnel checked bags at each entrance to ensure they were safe. Now, any bag or container bigger than one’s hand will have to be made of see-through material.
The change comes following a Kansas Board of Regents vote that allowed guns to be banned at campus sporting events with more than 5,000 people. KU Athletics will be adding metal detectors at each football and men’s basketball game, which is a safety measure but also one that could potentially slow down access to the arena.
