Idaho State Football Clear Bag Requirement
HOLT ARENA
For the enhanced safety and security of the Idaho State University community, clear bags are required at ISU home football games.
Idaho State will limit the size and type of bags and other personal items that attendees may bring into Holt Arena. Guests are limited to one approved clear bag each, plus a small clutch purse for privacy. All bags, purses, and items entering the venue are subject to security screening. If you do not need an item for the event, please consider leaving it at home or in your vehicle.
Allowable Personal Items
You may carry your everyday personal items such as keys, wallet, phone, makeup, etc. in your pockets if you choose not to use a clear bag or clutch purse. The key is to not conceal items inside carrying cases, prohibited bags, or bulky containers. Other allowed personal items include:
