Student Inspections
Students are required to present their purple or gold student ticket along with their Husky ID card or state issued photo ID. No backpacks or alcohol allowed. All students will be inspected upon entry to the lining up area, including bags (see clear bag policy below), purses and academic apparel. Be prepared to open your gown for visual inspection. Students are encouraged to not bring other bags, purses, etc. as there is no secure location to store them and they are not allowed on the field.
Any items deemed by the University of Washington staff to be inappropriate or possibly disruptive of other guests’ enjoyment are prohibited. Violators are subject to removal from the stadium and to applicable disciplinary action and/or legal action.
