Can you bring food into McKale Center at ALKEME Arena?

Bringing food

Rules don’t say. Ask first

McKale's policies page says the University of Arizona prohibits beverage and food containers in the arena and that anyone who brings them will be asked to dispose of them at the gate or return them to a car. Arizona's clear bag policy keeps the no food and beverage rule and permits medically necessary items after proper inspection, naming oxygen tanks, diabetes kits and allergy pens as examples. Neither page says whether food for a dietary need counts as a medically necessary item.

The venue's rules do not say whether food for a dietary need may come in. Ask before the game.
