Athletic Events Bag Policy
Cardinal Gibbons limits the size and types of bags permitted at all athletic events, including but not limited to football games, basketball games, wrestling matches, and other athletic events.
This policy enhances security and promotes a safer environment. It emerged from the school's continuous evaluation of its athletic security protocols in collaboration with the Raleigh Police Department.
Permitted items
Cardinal Gibbons encourages attendees not to bring any bags; however, the following will be permitted:
- One clear bag no larger than 12" x 15" x 3."
- Bags containing medically necessary items for that attendee's assistance (e.g., oxygen tank).
- Diaper bags
In addition, each attendee is permitted to bring loose items, including:
- Coat
- Blanket
- Seat cushions not exceeding 18 inches wide with no pockets, zippers, or concealable areas.
- iPad or other mobile devices.
- Camera (no camera bag).
- Binoculars (no case or bag)
- Babies may be brought into venues in a soft baby carrier or sling. Rigid frame baby and toddler carriers, as well as strollers, are permitted.
All permitted items are subject to inspection before entry is permitted.
