Yes, some outside food is allowed, with conditions

Guests may bring an individual portion of food in a clear plastic bag up to one gallon, plus one sealed, unopened water bottle of one liter or less per person. The bag policy also allows a medical exception after inspection. It does not name celiac disease or food allergies, so confirm the rules with Guest Services before bringing more food.

We checked the venue’s rules on September 23, 2026. Rules can change, so check before you go.

Gluten-free food at Kauffman Stadium

2 gluten-free options at Kauffman Stadium. The guide lists each food, where to find it, and what to ask.

The Marketplace (Section 203) sells GF buns and salads but is not gluten-free only, so ask about prep surfaces.

What to ask at the stand
  1. Is this the gluten-free version? Can I see the label?
  2. Is it fried in the same oil as breaded food?
  3. Can you change gloves and use a clean surface?
  4. Is the gluten-free bun kept and toasted apart from regular buns?

Please read

  • Is this the gluten-free version? Can I see the label?
