The Altoona Curve announced some changes to Peoples Natural Gas Field on Friday for the upcoming season.

The clear bag policy is new with each guest allowed to bring one bag into the ballpark (purses, fanny packs, backpacks), etc. provided the bag is soft-sided and clear. All bags are subject to search.

The new policy is designed to enhance the safety of all guests who enter the park as well as streamline the ballpark process to provide guests with a safe and enjoyable gameday experience.

There are a list of exceptions to the new policy such as medical bags or diaper bags. For more information, you are asked to go to the Curve’s website.

In other news, extended netting has been added that now runs down the left field line to the party deck, as well as protecting fans in the picnic pavilion, and also down the right field line to protect fans there, too.
