The "no pass-outs" rule enacted for the Virginia game will be continued. Once inside Memorial Stadium, fans will not be allowed to exit and return. "We understand that this changes a long-standing Clemson tradition, but we hope all of our fans will understand why this is necessary," said Athletic Director Bobby Robinson. The new stadium rules also mean no backpacks, tote bags or other large carryalls will be allowed in the football stadium. Items allowed into the stadium but subject to search are purses, diaper bags, seat cushions, binoculars, cameras, video cameras, cell phones, radios, Walkman-type radio/recorders and hand-held TVs. Umbrellas and strollers can be checked at the gates by security personnel. Bomb squad experts and bomb-sniffing dogs from the City of Anderson will be on hand to check the stadium and cars parked near it. Adults attending the game should have an official form of photo identification with them, and children should remain with an adult at all times during the game. Planes will be restricted from flying over the stadium between 1 p.m. and 9 p.m., and only cars bearing IPTAY placards will be allowed access to roads in the vicinity of the stadium (Avenue of Champions, Centennial Boulevard, Press Road) during the game. "These measures are purely precautionary to ensure that everyone can come to the game and enjoy themselves," said Mary Poore, associate vice president for municipal services.
