The University of Maryland is tightening rules on what kinds of bags fans can bring into football and basketball games this season.

If you're going to a game and wish to bring a bag, the bag must be clear plastic, vinyl or PVC no larger than 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches; a gallon-size clear freezer bag; or a small clutch bag. All other bags, including purses, backpacks, camera bags and diaper bags, won't be allowed into Maryland Stadium or the Xfinity Center.

Football season tickets will get a clear tote bag in their season ticket shipment. The new bag policy mirrors that enacted by the NFL in 2013.

At the stadium, they'll have no-bag express lanes, $10 lockers at Lot Q and Z and gallon-sized bags provided to fans on request, with large clear bags available for purchase.
