As a reminder, Virginia Athletics announced changes to the bag policy and entrance procedures for home football and men's and women's basketball games. The changes in policy and entrance procedures are the result of recommendations made for large-scale events held on Grounds by the University of Virginia's security consultant.

This includes the football game and basketball scrimmage/Meet The Team events this weekend.

The new policy limits the size and type of bags that can be brought into Scott Stadium and John Paul Jones Arena. The policy does not change the items fans may bring into the stadium and arena, but restricts the type of bag used to carry items.

-- Bags must be clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and cannot exceed 12" x 6" x 12" or clear one-gallon plastic freezer bags (Ziploc bag or similar) are also permitted.

-- Small clutch bags, approximately the size of a hand and no larger than 4.5" x 6.5" (with or without a handle or strap) can be taken into the stadium or arena and will be subject to search.

-- An exception will be made for items necessary for medical reasons after proper inspections at a gate designated for this purpose.

Virginia has added more signs and "significantly more magnetometers in place than at the Duke game" per an email to The Sabre. Please review the images below for more information and CLICK HERE for more details on the policy.
