New Clear Bag Policy<\/strong><\/p>\n Âé¶¹Ó³»´«Ã½ has implemented a clear bag policy at the stadium to provide a safer environment and expedite the entry process. Fans are encouraged not to bring any bags, but if they do, only these are allowed:<\/p>\n Check here for more information.<\/p>\n New Experiences<\/strong><\/p>\n Frost and his coaching staff won’t be the only new things at the stadium on game day. First, at 4:45 p.m., is Knight Walk, when the team marches through IOA Plaza on their way to the stadium.<\/p>\n Fans will want to be inside the stadium by 6:30 p.m. for the unveiling of a bigger and better high-definition video board and sound system. Then, following the National Anthem, turn your eyes skyward for a flyover by a massive U.S. Air Force HC-130. And if that’s not enough: There will be fireworks before the game and after every Knights touchdown.<\/p>\n Tickets<\/strong><\/p>\n Season ticket packages and single-game tickets are going fast but still available.
