Mich. State OKs "no-bag" policy at Spartan Stadium

By AP

EAST LANSING, MI –

Michigan State University has announced there will be a "no-bag" policy in effect for football games at Spartan Stadium this fall.

The East Lansing school said Friday the new policy took effect at the June 26 U2 concert at the stadium and will be in place for all future events there, beginning with the Sept. 2 football game against Youngstown State.

Under the new policy, purses, diaper bags, camera and binocular cases and other similar bags are prohibited inside the 76,000-seat stadium.

Those with medical supply needs must enter through gates C or K to have their bags searched and tagged. Those with other personal needs such as diapers need to put those items in clear, gallon-sized bags and may enter through any gate.
