This is the first part of a four-part series covering all of 2021 (and early 2022). Check out the other posts:
We're all itching to travel to follow our favorite school to their bowl game since the 2020 bowl season was largely scaled back or canceled altogether. To help prepare you for traveling and some of the new rules you may run into, we have provided some general bowl game information to answer common questions before the bowl games. We first checked the specific bowl websites for bag policy information and then if nothing was found or it appeared to be outdated, then we would check on the venue’s website. We provided the links we used to find the information and additional information can be found using these links including bag policies for medical supplies/diaper bags, etc. This week's post covers the first ten scheduled bowl games and we will be releasing the information for the remaining games including the playoff games in the next few weeks.
Be sure to check back regularly as information may change before the game!
Note: Some bowl websites have not yet updated their information for their 2021 or 2022 bowls, so we provided what appears to be the most up-to-date information. Generally, most venues discourage bringing bags, but if you do need to bring some belongings, this will help guide you.
Don't forget to buy your merchandise from Fanatics so you look like a true fan before you head out to the game! Be sure to click on your favorite school's link to go directly to their Fanatics page to purchase merchandise!
