SHUTTLE INFO
Complimentary shuttle service will be available for all NCAA Regional Volleyball matches.
For Thursday’s matches, one shuttle will operate beginning 90 minutes prior to the first serve and will continue until the conclusion of the first set of the opening match. Shuttle service will resume at 2:00 PM with two shuttles running to transport fans to the Coliseum for the second match.

BAG POLICY
The Southeastern Conference’s clear bag policy remains in place at Historic Memorial Coliseum as an additional safety measure and to facilitate entry. Each fan will be permitted to carry one large clear bag – either a one-gallon Ziploc-style bag or a 12″ x 6″ x 12″ clear bag – plus a small clutch that does not exceed 4.5″ x 6.5″.
The small clutch allows privacy for small personal items and is also easily searched. The clear bag policy improves public safety by making bags easily searched and significantly reducing faulty bag searches. Fans are encouraged not to bring bags to reduce touch points.
