Here's what you need to know ahead of the Jaguars vs. Patriots game

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars are looking for revenge against the New England Patriots Sunday at TIAA Bank Field. The game will be a highly contested rematch of last season's AFC Championship.

CLEAR BAG POLICY

Before any fan can get inside the Bank to watch the game, they will have to go through a tight security check. Fans can only bring in clear bags and have to go through checkpoints.

"Fans are encouraged to leave all bags at home, but, if necessary, it should be either a clear bag no larger than 12” x 6” x 12”, or a non-clear bag no larger than 4.5” x 6.5.” Strict size enforcement will be in place for all non-clear bags," the Jaguars said in a press release.

The Jaguars are expecting the stadium to be a at full capacity with more than 67,000 fans and are very serious about the clear bag policy.

Jaguars fan Cynthia Maguire has been coming to the bank for years and has seen many people make that one little mistake that could keep them from entering the game.

"People will come up, they’ll have a purse or they’ll have a small purse and it’s still bigger than what they say, and they won’t let them in,” Maguire said.

With a full house expected at the game, fans are encouraged to arrive early and plan accordingly with traffic.

TICKETS

The Jaguars say your ticket must be pulled up on your phone and no paper tickets will be accepted.

Jags fans are warned to be on the lookout for ticket schemes, especially if you wait to buy tickets at the last minute.

"Don't be accepting or purchasing screen shots from people in the parking lots, that's just not a good idea," Sarah Mathis, Senior Manager of Fan Experience.

GAME DAY TIMELINE

The Jags are also asking fans to be parked by 1:30 p.m. and in their seats at least an hour before kickoff.

A new tradition will also begin at the game Sunday. Right after the coin flip, the "inaugural First DUUUVAL" will be chanted by Tony Boseli.
