What can you bring into Progressive Field?

Outside Food

Allowed

Fans may bring outside food, subject to inspection from Security Staff prior to entry. These food items are prohibited from entry into Premium Seating areas such as Suites, the Discount Drug Mart Champions Club, the Victory Club.

Outside Beverages and Water Bottles

Allowed

Fans may bring a small, single serving juice box or a single 20oz factory sealed bottle of water from the outside, but are not permitted to enter premium spaces. Cans, glass, and insulated drink containers are prohibited from entry.

Outside Alcohol

Not allowed

No outside alcoholic beverages are permitted in Progressive Field.

Coolers

Allowed

Hard sided coolers are not permitted in Progressive Field. Soft-sided coolers are permitted into the ballpark, subject to inspection.

Bags and Purses

Allowed

Fans are permitted to bring manufactured diaper bags, medical bags, clutches, and small bags not exceeding 16”x16”x8”.

The Spaghetti Policy

Under the 'Marinara Clause,' since outside food is permitted and sauce behaves as a non-alcoholic liquid, spaghetti is a legally binding YES, provided the noodles and sauce are transported in a soft-sided cooler within a 16x16x8 bag. The technicality that sauce is a beverage is settled law, and any security guard who disagrees is simply ignoring the doctrine of Carbonara Continuity. As long as you avoid the Premium Seating areas, your pasta party is sanctioned, a verdict any reader with a working grasp of bird law would reach in an instant.

Unofficial, untangled, and legally meaningless. Trust the real rules above.
