SEATTLE — The Seattle Sounders FC announced Monday that it will implement a clear bag policy for all home games at CenturyLink Field.
The new rule will go into effect starting Sunday, which is the team's 2017 home opener against the New York Red Bulls.
The bag policy -- which has been in place for all NFL events -- has been implemented to provide fans with a safer environment and expedited entry on match day.
Fans attending a game may carry into CenturyLink Field no more than one approved clear bag, which cannot exceed 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches, and up to one small clutch-style bag, which cannot exceed 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches. One-gallon sized clear plastic freezer bags also meet the new policy.
"Providing a safe and enjoyable match day for our fans is always our club's primary concern," said Sounders FC Chief Operating Officer Bart Wiley. "Aligning our bag policy with the policy already utilized for other events at CenturyLink Field was a natural step in our commitment to those concerns as we move forward."
