Clear Bag Policy

The district’s public safety and stadium security policies are reviewed and updated each year. This policy has been adopted to ensure the safety and security of Princeton ISD students, staff, families and visitors at our stadiums.

Yes. Most stadiums in surrounding districts utilize some type of bag policy that provides an additional level of safety for fans.

The clear bag is easily and quickly scanned for dangerous items that will be prevented from entering the stadiums.

No. We are limiting only the type of bags carried into the stadium, not items that you normally would bring to a game. Therefore, you can carry items such as keys, makeup, feminine products, comb, phone, wallet, credit cards, etc. in your pockets, if you choose not to put them in a clear bag or clutch. You can use the clear bag and clutch to carry other items. You will continue to have the flexibility to bring a wide variety of approved items into the stadium.

Yes, the quart and/or gallon sized resealable bag allows fans to carry various needed items, and the small clutch allows privacy for small personal items.

Yes. Binoculars or a phone or camera can be carried into the stadium so long as it is not in its own bag. There is not a restriction on these items. It is only a restriction on the type of container used to carry items.

A baby carrier, detachable infant car seat or stroller is permitted in the stadium if it is accompanying an infant/small child and there’s not an attached bag. Other items needed for a baby or small child may be carried in clear gallon-size resealable bags.

Medically necessary items are permitted. Medications and small devices can be carried in a clear resealable bag.

Fans will be able to bring blankets by tossing them loosely over a shoulder or arm.

Fans carrying bags that do not meet the criteria will be asked to return the bag to their vehicle.
