WHAT IS CLEARLY HANDBAGS? Clearly handbags is a line of fashion forward, ecofriendly clear handbags of varying styles created in response to the NFL and S E C ’s n e w C l e a r B a g Policy.
CLEAR BAG POLICY According to the NFL, the Clear Bag Policy was implemented in order “to provide a safer environment for the public and significantly expedite fan entry into stadiums”. The policy “limits the size and type of bags that may be brought into stadiums.” Permissible bags include: clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bags that do not exceed 12" x 6" x 12 in size Small clutch bags, approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap one-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziploc bag or similar) http://www.nfl.com/qs/allclear/index.jsp
Not allowed: Purses larger than a clutch bag Coolers Briefcases Backpacks fanny packs
non-approved seat cushions* luggage of any kind computer bags camera bags any bag larger than the permissible size
NFL
NFL officially declared Clear Bag policy across entire league in 2017.
As a whole, the NFL has increased its revenue every year for more than ten consecutive years now, from approximately 6 billion U.S. dollars in 2004 to more than 12 billion U.S. dollars in 2015. The NFL is also the professional sports league with the highest average per game attendance, attracting more than 69 thousand spectators per game in the 2016 season, a total of almost 18 million in-stadium attendees. The average ticket price in the NFL was at 85.83 U.S. dollars in 2015. Tickets to games of the New York Giants are the most expensive (averaging 123.4 U.S. dollars). The least expensive tickets are for the Jacksonville Jaguars’ games, with an average price of 57.65 U.S. dollars.
The Clear Bag policy is not currently in effect at all college football stadiums, however, it is quickly spreading, with most schools having implemented an alternative bag policy at the very least. As of the beginning of the 2017 football season, the SEC has officially declared the Clear Bag policy across all schools in its league.
THE MARKET
The market for Clearly handbags is huge with almost half of NFL stadium attendees being women. Statistically, more women attend football games than any other major league sport in America. According to the Washington Post, “women are pro-football’s most important demographic.”
