The Nebraska Athletic Department has updated its clear-bag policy for all home athletic events starting with Friday night's volleyball match against Michigan State at the Devaney Center.

The changes are a result of fan feedback and are intended to "better reflect the changing market in the retail space and consumer buying habits," the department said in a news release.

The changes include:

All clear bags no larger than 12"x6"x12" will be allowed.
The policy change includes clear fanny packs, clear backpacks, clear string bags and other clear bag styles.
Straps on bags are allowed as long as the clear-bag size limit is met and the bag has no other prohibited features listed in the policy.
Small bags, no larger than 4.5"x6.5", that are not clear continue to be allowed. This includes the popular Rue bag.

The updated policy can be found in its entirety at Huskers.com/clearbag (although the graphic at the top of that page appears to be out of date).
