Important fan information for Russell Athletic Bowl

ORLANDO, Fla. — News release from Florida Citrus Sports:

Florida Citrus Sports and Camping World Stadium will be enforcing a ‘clear bag’ policy at FanFest and in the stadium at the Russell Athletic Bowl. Fans are strongly encouraged to arrive early and refrain from bringing any type of bag. Below are the following types of bags that are permissible:

Bags that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12″ x 6″ x 12.”

One-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziploc bag or similar).

Small clutch bags, approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap can be taken into the stadium with one of the clear plastic bags.

Fans are encouraged to arrive to the stadium early, as magnetic wanding will take place at all entrance gates. The magnetic wand is a non-invasive device that scans the body for prohibited items. If you decline screening for medical reasons or if a metal detector alert cannot be solved through inquiry or physical inspection, a physical pat-down may be necessary.

For more information on the clear bag policy, please visit RussellAthleticBowl.com/Stadium.

The free downtown shuttle is recommended on game day. Shuttles will pick up near the Geico Garage at Amway Center and drop off at Church and Nashville near the northeast corner of Camping World Stadium. Shuttle service begins at 12:30 p.m. Postgame service will run until two hours after the game.

More information about stadium policies and procedures can be found at Camping World Stadium's Russell Athletic Bowl Guide.

In addition, fans are reminded to purchase tickets from authorized sources. Many counterfeit tickets may look genuine, but contain a barcode that is no longer valid or designed for another event. The Camping World Stadium ticket office will not be able to assist fans who have purchased counterfeit or voided tickets with being admitted to the game or receiving a refund. Fans are advised to purchase any tickets still available directly from:

Ticketmaster (Russell Athletic Bowl Tickets)

Ticket offices of schools participating in the bowl games (Miami Tickets and West Virginia Tickets)

The Russell Athletic Bowl Game will kick off at 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 28 at Orlando's Camping World Stadium.  The game will be televised nationally on ESPN and will feature the Miami Hurricanes, against the West Virginia Mountaineers.  To purchase tickets, and for more information on the full weekend of the Bowl Game festivities, visit russellathleticbowl.com.
