Stadium Policies: Clear Bag Policy, Prohibited Items, and Metal Detectors
In an effort to provide a safer environment, a clear bag policy is in place at ALL UNM Athletic events. These policies significantly expedite fan entry into all stadiums. This is consistent with all NFL stadiums and many other collegiate institutions.
Prohibited items
