Large Bags, Drinks Banned At Morristown Football Games

MORRISTOWN, NJ — You'll have to leave any large bags or drinks at home if you want to go to a Morris School District football game, as new stadium policies go into effect.

Backpacks, large bags or pocketbooks, and any outside drinks are banned fro all football games, effective Oct. 20. Medically necessary items, and any properly inspected diaper bags, are exempt from the new policy.

The new rule is meant to ensure spectator and athlete safety, the district said in an email.

"This proactive measure both will enhance safety inside and outside of the athletic venues and speed the security screening process for all fans. The public deserves to be in a safe, secure environment. This is about both safety and improving the overall fan experience," they wrote.
