As a response to recent arrests in Colorado and New York related to a terrorism probe, the University of Michigan is banning purses, diaper bags and all other bags of any size from Michigan Stadium beginning this Saturday when the Wolverines take on visiting Indiana.

According to the Columbus Disbatch, the school said, "adjusting security measures is the prudent thing to do."

Michigan went on to say that it will require "written permission of a medical professional" before allowing bags into the game.

Comments

I think Michigan is smart to be proactive when it comes to the safety of their fans, employees and student-athletes. I hope other schools follow their lead.

How about stadium cushions.
I carry one into every game.
I think if someone wanted to do damage, would
do it before a game, or just do a fly over.

I use to be a policeman at a University years ago, and I can say times have really changed.
I suggest feeling of all cushions before they are
allowed to enter the stadium.
