Clear bag policy in Ford Stadium this season

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

A free society requires accepting an amount of risk. I am willing to accept the unbelievably small chance of an incident, far, far less likely than dying on 75 on the way to the game or coming on my beer on the Boulevard, to avoid the demeaning and attendance discouraging hassle of clear bags.

Remind me to never accept a beer from you.

if it came in clear plastic it would just be slightly outside the cut.

Let's be honest 100%, this may equal less student involvement. Come on even that school to the west doesn't do that. Just stick to "checking" bags.

Also I will be selling two vinyl clear plastic SMU tote bags on craigslist later this year. Never will have been used / may still be in original packaging.

Now I feel compelled to go 1 of 2 possible ways:

1. Get creative about sneaking things in just for the sake of doing it.
2. Utilize the clear bags, but pack it with medicine boxes for really contagious or nasty diseases, and then get real close to the yellow shirts while they search it

I like your style. Rage against the machine...

Ha, that should br "choking" on my beer, I assure you my Boulevard spot is not so much fun that anything like that is occurring!

'Free,' sure; except if you'd like to place a wager on the game's outcome or buy whisky on a Sunday. Or not wear pants ever.

Count me as one of those who thinks this is a bad idea. They better have spare bags for folks who show up without one. Most folks, especially the casual fan, will have no idea about this policy...they will not be happy.

Pants-free night would be a wonderful promotion for a game this season. Somewhat symbolic of the Baylor game

Same policy as AT&T Stadium.

Mandated by Risk Management and in line with industry trends.

I know that you are tasked with putting a positive spin on the Athletic Department's decisions, but when you're left with "everyone else does it" as the positive spin, you know it's not a good policy

Athletic Department: If all your friends ran naked down Central Expressway during morning rush hour would you run naked down Central Expressway during morning rush hour?

[BigT3x]

Athletic department continues to punish the fans with polices that conform with industry standards yet make no sense for our situation. When the stadium is a third full, it's time to start examining the no reentry policy and the purse gestapo.

Our football games are the equivalent of going to Service Merchandise. We're trying to sell an inferior product while making our customers conform to an arcane set of rules and procedures that serve no purpose.

Implying that the experiences at AT&T Stadium and Ford Stadium can even be compared at the moment. Shouldn't we be trying to make the decision to actually go to the game easier?

You people act as if they really had a choice. Although I don't work on the underwriting of college football stadiums, it is a specialty product written by a limited number of carriers. Your State Farm agent and Flo from Progressive can't bind coverage for something like Ford.

If the underwriters want a change made, it is eventually going to happen. Underwriter: "we will add liquor liability coverage to the policy, but you will agree to [insert terms] or your premium and/or retention will increase by [#[deleted]]."

Personally, I would rather see the extra premium go towards the promotions budget.

This is a bad idea.
