Sutter Health Park food policy

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

The Athletics' guide says no outside food or beverage is permitted except reasonably sized bags of peanuts or sunflower seeds and the items its beverage rules list. Those allow unopened soft-sided drink containers, small milk cartons, juice boxes, baby formula and baby food, "and medication or other special needs". It does not say whether that covers food for a medical need such as celiac disease.

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 September 23, 2026. Rules can change, so check before you go.
