What can you bring into Soldier Field?

Outside Food

Food for personal consumption is permitted to enter the stadium if the container adheres to NFL Bag Policy.

Outside Beverages and Water Bottles

Not allowed

Cans, bottles, or other beverage containers are listed as prohibited items.

Outside Alcohol

Not allowed

Alcohol is strictly prohibited from being carried into Soldier Field.

Coolers

Exceptions Only

Prohibited items include, but are not limited to: coolers (unless medically necessary).

Bags and Purses

Allowed

Bags that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12" x 6" x 12" or non-clear bags that do not exceed 4.5" x 6.5" are permitted.

The Spaghetti Policy

Under the 'Marinara Clause,' noodles are clearly 'food' and permitted, but since sauce is technically a liquid, it constitutes a prohibited 'beverage' unless you've got a lawyer who can argue it's a condiment-paste. Therefore, provided your pasta is in a clear bag under 12x6x12, it's a GO, but you must enter dry and sauce-less, or face the inevitable tragedy of a noodle-less existence.

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