Food for a dietary need: rules don’t say. Ask first

The current policies and FAQ prohibit outside food and beverages. Parenting bags and medical bags are permitted after an x-ray check; the policies do not say whether food for a dietary need qualifies. Ask Guest Services about dietary restrictions before an event.

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

We checked the venue’s rules on October 10, 2026. Rules can change, so check before you go.
