DOWDY-FICKLEN STADIUM BAG POLICY
East Carolina University in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security, implemented a new policy for personal bags brought into Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium starting in the fall of 2010.

Any bag (purses, back packs, diaper bags, etc.) carried into the stadium by fans cannot exceed a size specification of 10" X 10" X 10". Boxes will be located at each gate to measure all bags, and those which exceed the limitation, will be prohibited from entering the facility.

Pirate football fans who need accessible parking assistance can park on campus in the lots in front of Christenbury Gym/Brewster Building/Fletcher Music Center and ride accessible, climate controlled shuttles to Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium and back to their cars after the game. Vehicles will only be admitted to the Christenbury lots with a valid state issued handicap parking pass that must be registered in the name of one of the vehicle's passengers. Ownership of the placard is subject to verification.
