Rules don’t say. Ask first

John Paul Jones Arena's A-Z guide says outside food and beverages of any kind may not be brought into the arena, and water bottles and containers of any kind are prohibited (water fountains are inside). Its clear bag policy makes an exception for items necessary for medical reasons after inspection at entry. The guide does not say whether food for a dietary need counts. Email jpj-inf@virginia.edu before the event with policy questions.

Venue tips

Aramark runs all concessions in-house, and no menu or dietary labels are published. Outside food is prohibited, and the pages do not say whether the medical-items exception covers food.

  • Email jpj-inf@virginia.edu before game day to ask whether food for a dietary need can come in; no written rule covers it.
  • Tell security at any gate about medically necessary items; they send you to a secondary search and put a temporary wristband on the bag.
  • Ask each stand what it can prepare without gluten and how it handles cross-contact.
