Food for a dietary need: no exception listed

The arena's General Info & FAQ answers 'No' to whether guests with special dietary restrictions may bring their own food or beverages: outside food and beverages are not permitted, and the arena points to its Kosher and Gluten-free options. Guests may bring one unopened plastic water bottle of one liter or less, or an empty plastic refillable bottle. The A-Z guide sends guests with medical or religious dietary needs to the Food & Drink page or Guest Services.
