FGCU Alico Arena Clear Bag Policy

Effective Jan. 1, 2020

 

In an effort to ensure the safety and well-being of fans at home basketball events at Alico Arena, the FGCU Department of Athletics introduced a new Clear Bag Policy beginning Jan. 1, 2020. The new policy aligns the department with the best practices of game day safety and security which have been implemented by other schools in Florida, the ASUN and nationally.   The approved size for clear bags will be a maximum of 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches or a one-gallon clear plastic, zip top freezer bag. Clear bags may be subject to search, but it is anticipated that times will be minimal.   Bags that are necessary for medical equipment will be searched and marked at each entry point. Non-transparent clutch purses that are no larger than 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches will be allowed. No other bags, backpacks, or purses will be permitted and the limit of allowable bags is one per person. One diaper bag per family will be allowed, but is subject to search.   Any non-approved bag must be returned to the owners car or campus dormitory. There will be no storage options at Alico Arena for fan use.
