BGSU Athletics Clear Bag Policy Extending To Doyt Perry Stadium
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - New this season to Doyt Perry Stadium will be a revamped parking system. The new parking layout will enhance the fan experience by cutting down wait times through new ingress directions as well as lot locations. Information regarding the new-look parking at Doyt Perry Stadium can be found below. Additionally, the Clear Bag Mandate that began at all BGSU Athletics venues on Jan. 1, 2026 will be instituted at Doyt Perry Stadium, spanning all BGSU Athletics venues. Â

Clear Bag Mandate Expanding To DoytÂ
Falcon fans should be familiar with the clear bag mandate that began on Jan. 1, 2026 at all BGSU Athletics venues. The same policy from the Stroh Center and Slater Family Ice Arena will be instituted at the Doyt Perry Stadium this upcoming season. The full mandate can be found on the BGSUFalcons.com website. As part of the mandate, clear crossbody bags will be handed out to students with 1,000 at the first football game and 500 at the first volleyball game.Â

New Flavor Coming To ConcessionsÂ

Improvements to the concession locations and the additions of grab-and-go markets will cut down wait times with additional point-of-sale operations aiding in moving lines. More affordable prices and expanded offerings will span the menu, including additional alcohol offerings. Â
