How Atlanta Falcons compares
- Mercedes-Benz Stadium does not allow outside food outside of medical, infant or dietary exceptions, putting it in the minority: 11 of 32 NFL stadiums do allow it.
- Its 16.9 oz bottle limit sits between the 16.9 oz cap at Arizona Cardinals and the 34 oz allowed at Denver Broncos.
- Outside alcohol is banned here, as it is at every one of the 32 NFL stadiums we track.

The Spaghetti Policy
Under the 'Marinara Clause' and a strict reading of the bag policy, spaghetti is hereby OUTLAWED; unless you are a toddler or have a doctor's note, those noodles are 'outside food' and strictly forbidden. I’ve analyzed the loopholes, and while I could argue that sauce is a thick beverage, the lack of a 500mL factory seal on a meatball makes this a legal impossibility. If I had a better lawyer, I could potentially argue that pasta is a structural element of a clear bag, but alas, the verdict is NO.
Unofficial, untangled, and legally meaningless. Trust the real rules above.
