The Spaghetti Policy
Yankee Stadium permits food for individual consumption and waves through one soft-sided MLB-compliant bag of 16-by-16-by-8, which my chambers rule is a pinstriped invitation to a personal portion of spaghetti. I rule YES: noodles and sauce ride in that soft-sided bag (a soft cooler counts, so keep them cool), a sealed bottle of water stands by as deputy sauce, and only the hard-sided container is turned away at the gate. Bring no alcohol, slice any apple that dreams of being a meatball, and the marinara takes the field like it's batting cleanup in the Bronx.
Unofficial, untangled, and legally meaningless. Trust the real rules above.
