Doyt L. Perry Stadium

Conditional. A clear bag mandate took effect January 1, 2026 across all BGSU Athletics venues, including Doyt Perry Stadium, superseding older facility bag rules. Permitted: one clear plastic/vinyl/PVC bag no larger than 12"x6"x12", a one-gallon clear Ziploc-style bag, or a small purse/clutch no larger than 4.5"x6.5" (inspected in a screening lane); medical equipment and diaper bags are permitted after inspection. No bag-check service is offered at entrances. Max size: Clear bag: 12"x6"x12"; clutch: 4.5"x6.5". Exceptions: Medical equipment and diaper bags, after inspection.

Conditional. 2026 introduced a new assigned-lot parking process; gameday walk-up price is $20. Lots include ADA/AA (Lot 10), BB, CC, Gold, Student, Teal, Seafoam, and Purple, with a golf-cart shuttle from the ADA lot. Overnight RV parking is available in Lot 24 by advance arrangement, priced $50-$125 depending on the game; no kegs or party balls allowed while tailgating. Fee: $20 gameday walk-up; $50-$125 RV.

Not Allowed. Food or beverages are listed as a not-permitted item, with no stated infant/medical exception in the official venue guide.

Conditional. Alcohol is sold at concession stands on both concourses (expanded for 2026); outside alcohol is prohibited and may not be carried in or out of the stadium.

Not Allowed. Coolers of any size are listed as not permitted.

Conditional. Strollers are permitted inside the stadium but must be parked in the grass area along the fence in the south end zone; wagons are not addressed.

Allowed. Accessible seating is provided in multiple sections; accessible/ADA parking is designated in Lot 10 (new for 2026), with golf-cart shuttle service to the stadium.

Not Allowed. Roller skates, scooters, and bicycles are not permitted.

Allowed. Cameras and video cameras are permitted; no explicit lens/tripod restriction is published for Doyt Perry Stadium. Footage may not be reproduced for commercial use (including social media) without BGSU Athletics' written consent.

Not Allowed. Fireworks, aerosol cans, and (per general BGSU athletics venue policy) unauthorized flying devices are not permitted; drones specifically are covered under the same not-permitted device category at BGSU athletics venues.

Allowed. Umbrellas are permitted inside the stadium, listed as an item subject to inspection along with other rain gear.

Conditional. Amplified sound, including in Tailgate Park, requires advance approval from BGSU Athletics/Falcon Sports Properties. Banners must be pre-approved by 5 p.m. the day before the game; flags on poles are not permitted inside the stadium.

Conditional. Blankets and seat cushions without attached bags are permitted, subject to inspection; lawn chairs are explicitly not permitted.

Not Allowed. BGSU has not opted in to Ohio's public-university concealed-carry allowance — concealed carry remains prohibited on BGSU property, firearms are barred from all campus buildings, and open carry by students/employees is also barred, per BGSU's own Ohio Administrative Code rule and its Police Department's Campus Carry Q&A. This matches the same declined-to-opt-in pattern already confirmed at Cincinnati, Toledo, Ohio University, Kent State, and Miami (OH). The stadium guide separately lists weapons of any kind (including pipes and chains) and pepper spray as not-permitted items.

Not Allowed. BGSU is a smoke-free campus; smoking is confined to a single designated corral outside Gate 2. BGSU's campus-wide Clean Air & Smoking Policy explicitly limits both smoking and e-cigarette/vaping use to designated areas.

Conditional. Animals are not permitted except certified service animals.

Conditional. Re-entry after halftime is restricted to only Gates 2 and 7.

Conditional. The venue is fully cashless as of 2026 (parking, tickets, and concessions); solicitation/flyers are strictly prohibited in or around the stadium and parking areas unless coordinated with Falcon Sports Properties.
