To provide a safer environment at Stanford Stadium, the University and athletics department have implemented enhanced screening procedures. In addition to the clear bag policy, there will be electronic screening equipment (metal detectors) in use at all venue entry gates for fans to pass through. Before entering the stadium, fans will be asked to remove cell phones, keys and other large metal objects and must pass through the metal detectors. While we encourage fans not to bring bags, certain bags are permitted, as outlined by the clear bag policy, which limits the size and type of bags carried into the venue. This updated policy balances fan needs with the need for fan safety and convenience.
