In the interest of public safety and following the National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security (NCS4) Best Practices Guide, the Louisiana RaginСAPP Cajuns will implement a clear bag policy effective August 2017, СAPP officials announced today.
The policy, which is part of a growing trend at professional and collegiate sporting venues across the country, will start with the 2017-18 competition season and will include all RaginСAPP CajunsСAPP venues that host ticketed events: Cajun Field (football), Cajundome (menСAPPs and womenСAPPs basketball), E.K. Long Gym (volleyball), M.L. СAPPTigueСAPP Moore Field at Russo Park (baseball), Lamson Park (softball), and the RaginСAPP Cajuns Track/Soccer Facility.
Each ticket holder, including children, may carry one approved clear bag, such as a one-gallon storage bag, plus a small purse.
The following bags will be permitted inside Louisiana RaginСAPP Cajuns athletic facilities and are subject to search.
- Clear plastic bag that does not exceed 12СAPP by 6СAPP by 12СAPP.
- Clutch or small purse, with or without a strap, that does not exceed 6.5СAPP by 4.5СAPP.
- Equipment bag for necessary medical items.
- Diaper bag for age-appropriate children accompanied by an adult.
Prohibited bags include, but are not limited to: large purses, coolers, briefcases, backpacks, fanny packs, mesh bags, or any bag larger than the permissible size. Tinted or printed-pattern plastic bags are not clear, so they will not be permitted.
A non-obstructive team logo on one side of a clear bag will be permissible. Licensed RaginСAPP Cajuns clear bags will be available through the RaginСAPP Cajuns Store and several area retailers.
Fans can wear or carry items such as binoculars, hand-held electronic devices and cameras (with lenses shorter than four inches) without carrying cases. Fans may carry in blankets and seat cushions that will be screened upon entry.
