ARTIFICIAL NOISEMAKERS
Policy: Big 12 Conference rules do not permit artificial noisemakers to be brought into or used in McLane Stadium.
Reason: The Big 12 implemented this rule in order to prevent the distraction of the participants and officials in the game.
BAGS & BACKPACKS
Policy: Must be clear plastic vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12”x 12”x 6” or a small clutch bag no larger than 4.5”x 6.5”x 3”. Prohibited bags include, but are not limited to: backpacks, briefcases, camera bags, cinch bags, computer bags, coolers, diaper bags, duffle bag, fanny packs, luggage, any other bag deemed to not meet the clear bag policy.
Reason: National and local security officials have designated backpacks and other bags as security risks. This policy is consistent with major sporting leagues nationwide. Unattended bags create a security threat. Bags may not be left at the gates and will be confiscated, removed and discarded immediately. Clear bag = effective and efficient screening.
BANNERS & POLES
Policy: Banners may not be hung and poles may not be brought into McLane Stadium unless approved by Baylor Athletics.
Reason: Banners or poles in McLane Stadium can be a nuisance to other fans by obstructing their view of the game, and can create safety concerns for those in the area.
CAMERAS, TRIPODS & MONOPODS:
Policy: Cameras with lenses 4” or smaller are permitted in McLane Stadium. Tripods, monopods & selfie sticks are not allowed into McLane Stadium.

Policy: Portable chairbacks and seat cushions will not be allowed in McLane Stadium, however, fans may rent chairs from IMG College Seating for the season at www.BUBearChairs.com or on game day at locations throughout the stadium.
Reason: Wide chairback seats overlap into the seat of the fan next to you & many encroach into the legroom of the fan behind you. The guest relations staff at Floyd Casey Stadium frequently was contacted with this complaint. The chairbacks and cushions available from IMG College Seating are customized for the benches at McLane Stadium.

Policy: Drones and other Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) may not be flown or operated from or over Baylor property.
Reason: Drones and UAS may cause a safety hazard and violate the temporary flight restriction that covers McLane Stadium.

Policy: All persons (ages 2 & up) must present a ticket for admission to McLane Stadium.

UMBRELLAS
Policy: Umbrellas are not allowed in McLane Stadium. Umbrellas left at the gate/entrance will be confiscated and discarded during security sweeps.
Reason: Umbrellas are a sight obstruction for other fans, and can be a safety hazard. Fans should bring appropriate rain gear in case of inclement weather.
VIDEO CAMERAS
Policy: Video cameras are not permitted in McLane Stadium.
Reason: Baylor Athletics is obligated to protect the television and digital rights granted by the Big 12 Conference to television networks and other media. By prohibiting video cameras except for use by credentialed working media, Baylor Athletics can best manage that obligation.
