SILVER CITY, N.M. - In an effort to provide a safer environment, a clear bag policy is in place at ALL Western New Mexico University Athletic events. These policies significantly quicken fan entry into all stadiums. This is consistent with all NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL stadiums, as well as many other collegiate institutions.

Clear Bag Policy will be in effect FOR ALL 2022-2023 sports seasons

• All patrons who choose to bring bags into the game must abide by the clear bag policy
• NO outside food or drink will be permitted
• Clear Bags may be no larger than 12"x6"x12"
• If patrons do not have a clear bag, they may bring in a gallon-sized freezer bag
• Palm-sized clutch purses or wallets do not need to abide by clear bag policy
• Non-clear medical bags are permitted and subject to a thorough inspection
• Diaper bags are permitted if entering with a child but are subject to a thorough inspection
• Seat cushions without arms or pockets are permitted
• Backpacks, fanny packs, printed pattern bags, reusable grocery bags, mesh or straw bags, duffel bags, or large totes (larger than 12'x6'x12") are NOT permitted
• If you choose to bring in a blanket, the blanket must be carried in separately and not placed in the clear bag and is subject to a thorough inspection
• If your bag gets turned away at the gate due to not following clear bag policy, you will need to return it to your vehicle, as we have no area to store it
• Patrons are encouraged to leave all bags at home to speed up the entry process into the stadium
