Peanut or tree-nut allergy? A label, a peanut-free game, or a cleaned section does not remove the risk of cross-contact or peanut dust elsewhere in the building. Confirm the details with the venue before you buy tickets and again on game day, and follow your allergist’s plan.
Benchmark International Arena allows outside food only for medical purposes and asks guests with dietary needs due to medical conditions to call the arena. The Lightning's dietary page lists glazed pecans and glazed almonds at the Grab N Go stands near Sections 114 and 118, and the team's 2024-25 opening-day celebration offered peanuts.

We found no peanut-allergy game, section or suite for the 2026-27 season. We searched the Tampa Bay Lightning’s and Benchmark International Arena’s own websites on Oct 29, 2026.
