Texas Tech's Centennial Celebration kicks off this week, and you better have a clear bag.

You've heard and seen of clear bag policies before at Texas Tech sporting events, but this seems to be new. For the Carol of Lights celebration at Texas                                Tech University this Friday, December 2, which serves as the kickoff event for Texas Tech's Centennial Celebration, will have a new rule in place. Ladies are being asked to leave normal purses at home and instead bring a clear bag. Everyone attending is being asked not to bring a bag larger than backpacks, clutch, diaper bags, or computer bags according to the Texas Tech website.

For your safety and for the benefit of law enforcement, a clear bag policy will be in effect.

• Bags that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVS and do not exceed 12”x6”x12”
• One-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziplock bag or similar)
• Small clutch bags, approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap will be allowed
• Exceptions will be made for medically necessary items

Please do not bring purses larger than a clutch, backpacks, fanny packs, cinch bags, briefcases, computer bags, diaper bags, etc.

This is all part of Texas Tech's re-imagining of the Carol of Lights for this year since Wade Bowen and the Maines Brothers Band will be performing at the Carol of Lights.

While large bags will be banned, jackets and coats are still welcome. So I imagine there will still be some people still sneaking in adult beverages.
