I just wanted to post a thread about the new rules at PBS so that no one is surprised when they get down there. I assume the rules for uc games will be the same as they were for bengals games.

The rules are pretty strict, I don't think you can even bring purses in. Only clear bags are allowed. We had to go purchase a clear bag for baby stuff.

Could swear I saw a tweet from UC last night that the NFL rules wouldn't apply tonight and women(or men, if so inclined I guess) could bring opaque purses into the stadium.

A few things to note for PBS: parking lots will open for cash entry at 5pm tomorrow. Non-clear purses are allowed (aka no NFL policy)

What about diaper bags? Might be bringing the little one to his first game tonight.

I would assume the rules will be the same as Nippert, but you never know. It just takes one storm trooper to ruin everything. At the Belk Bowl, one of the security guys was a complete jerk who insisted I couldn't bring in my binoculars in their case because it wasn't a "clear bag". Told me it was okay to bring in the binoculars, but I would have to throw the case away. When I tried to explain to him that it wasn't a purse, but a case that obviously only contained binoculars and had no room for contraband he turned into a real prick and I finally had to go over his head to his one of his supervisors so I could bring the damn thing into the stadium.

Also, NFL clear bag policy DOES NOT apply. Normal purses are allowed

There you have it.

Did the Cats look any better through binoculars? Because they looked pretty bad that night on TV. More than ready to forget the end of last season and (finally) get started this year.

This is very good to know.

Normal Nippert Stadium rules apply, not NFL policy.

Several stadiums don't allow cases of any kind. You can bring in video cams, binoculars, cameras and so forth, but not in the case.

In fact, I just checked and per the game day guide: Cameras and video recorders will be permitted into Paul Brown Stadium without cases.
