CANTON, Ohio (AP) — The NFL’s new policy banning bags that are not clear and that are larger than a gallon ziploc bag seems to have worked well Sunday at the Hall of Fame game.
There were no lines at the secondary perimeter checkpoints as security members ensured fans did not enter Fawcett Stadium with banned items such as backpacks, diaper bags, coolers, briefcases, fanny packs, seat cushions, computer bags and camera bags.
The only bags that can be taken into game venues are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC that don’t exceed 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches, including one-gallon clear plastic freezer bags.
In general, fans approved of the new procedures and said they were aware of the new rules.
