Outside Food
Allowed

Permitted for individual consumption; must be individually wrapped/bagged or in a single serve container, and must be soft-sided. Food that could be a projectile must be sliced or sectioned. Prohibited in restaurants, club lounges, or suites.

Outside Beverages

One factory-sealed plastic bottled water (still, clear, unflavored, 1 liter or less) and soft-sided single juice or milk containers or ADA required liquids in a sealed container are permitted. One liter reusable water bottles (no glass) are permitted but must be empty upon entry.

Outside Alcohol
Not allowed

California liquor regulations prohibit guests from bringing alcoholic beverages into Petco Park. Guests may not exit the ballpark with alcoholic beverages.

Hard-sided coolers are strictly prohibited.

Bag Policy
Allowed

Prohibited except for single compartment clear plastic bags not exceeding 12” X 6” X 12”, infant bags, medical bags, and clutches/purses no larger than 5” X 7”.

The Spaghetti Policy

Under the 'Marinara Clause,' noodles are 'soft-sided' individual consumption, and since sauce is technically a liquid, I've ruled that a clear plastic bag of pasta is a legal loophole victory: YES, spaghetti is permitted, provided you smuggle the sauce in a factory-sealed juice container via the 'Viscosity Doctrine.' Just don't bring a hard-sided thermos, or the security guard, who clearly doesn't understand the nuances of bird law, will treat your dinner like a contraband projectile.

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