BY THE HUB ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2022HEADLINES, NEWS BRIEFS
Dallas ISD has revised its clear bag guidelines for all home athletics events to ensure the safety of participants, spectators, and event staff.
Fans are encouraged to bring only clear bags into Dallas ISD stadiums. Permissible items include a clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC tote bag not to exceed 12x6x12 inches or a resealable plastic storage bag, not to exceed one gallon. Small clutch purses and diaper bags are now prohibited at all Dallas ISD stadiums.
Prohibited items include, but are not limited to: all purses, bags, or containers, including small clutch purses; backpacks; briefcases; camera bags, computer bags, coolers, cross body bags, diaper bags, drawstring bags, fanny packs, and luggage of any kind. Credentialed members of the media may bring in camera and computer bags, but those will be inspected upon stadium entry.
Additionally, the district has made the following adjustments to its event procedures:
- Concession stands at football games will close at the end of the third quarter;
- Booster club sales at football games will end at the end of the third quarter;
- Students unaccompanied by a parent/guardian will not be allowed to enter a football game after the end of the third quarter;
The use of metal detectors and/or hand wands will continue at all events.
Fans are encouraged to purchase event tickets online at GoFan.co before they arrive at the stadium and to arrive early to allow a smooth admission and screening process at stadium gates so they can be in their seat in time for kickoff.
