On April 21st, Troy Athletics just dropped news on a new clear bag policy kicking in for the 2026-27 season, starting August 1st, 2026. It's for all ticketed events at spots like Veterans Memorial Stadium, Trojan Arena, and Riddle Pace Field, all aimed at boosting safety and security. On campus, fans renewing or grabbing 2026 football season tickets by the May 15th deadline score a free Troy-branded clear bag, thanks to Guardian Credit Union. No mailing, though.
Pick up info drops later. This change means leaving non-clear bags at home or in the car to keep things smooth. It streamlines entry and cuts risks, so crowds move faster without the hassle of big inspections. Allowed gear includes clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bags, no bigger than 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches, plus one gallon clear freezer.
Bags or small clutches up to 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches. Medical stuff gets a pass after a quick gate check, and no backpacks, coolers, or oversized purses. Seat cushions work if they're plain, pocket-free, under 18 inches wide, and bagless. Kid essentials or health items just need to fit in an approved clear bag or get that gate okay.
Troy's gearing up for safer game days ahead.
