⛔Weapons — by venue

Acrisure Bounce House

No weapons are allowed in the stadium; possession of a firearm or any other weapon is strictly forbidden, per UCF Policy 3-119.3, which applies to all UCF-controlled property and events and is backed by Florida Statute §790.115, which carves university/college campuses out of the state's broader concealed/open-carry allowances, including its permitless-carry statute.

Acrisure Stadium

Weapons and any item that could be deemed a projectile are prohibited.

Alamodome

Weapons are banned at all high school, collegiate, and professional sporting events held at the Alamodome, even for concealed-handgun permit holders. Because the Alamodome is City-owned rather than university property, Texas's campus-carry law does not apply here; instead, Texas Penal Code §46.03 independently bans weapons at any professional/collegiate/interscholastic sporting-event venue regardless of ownership.

Albertsons Stadium

All weapons are prohibited, including concealed-carry firearms, knives/pocket knives, and mace/pepper spray; the stadium is designated gun-free.

Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium

Weapons, including knives and firearms, are prohibited outright; Wake Forest's campus weapons policy cites North Carolina General Statutes 14-269.2 and 14-415.11, and as a private institution, Wake Forest maintains a total ban with no concealed-carry vehicle-storage exception for permit holders (unlike public NC universities).

Allegiant Stadium

Weapons of any kind, including imitation weapons and any sharp objects, are prohibited.

Allen E. Paulson Stadium

Weapons of any kind are prohibited inside Allen E. Paulson Stadium.

Alligator Adventure

Concealable weapons are not allowed.

Alumni Stadium

Weapons of any description are prohibited, and all guests pass through an Evolv weapons-detection system at entry; Massachusetts law requires written institutional authorization for anyone to carry a firearm on college grounds, and Boston College, as a private university, has published no such authorization, resulting in a total ban.

American Airlines Center

Firearms and concealed handguns, with or without a license, are not permitted; the arena has no weapons check-in.

American Family Field

Firearms, other weapons, fireworks, and other items the Brewers deem hazardous or dangerous are prohibited, including pocket knives (except left in a locked vehicle).

Amon G. Carter Stadium

Weapons of any kind, including those carried with a permit, are prohibited, and open or concealed firearm carry is not allowed anywhere on the TCU campus.

Angel Stadium

Weapons of any kind are prohibited inside Angel Stadium regardless of permit, including firearms, knives of any size, tasers, and pepper spray; explosives and fireworks are also banned.

Arrowhead Stadium

Weapons of any kind, including firearms, knives, and toy weapons, are strictly prohibited.

Autzen Stadium

Weapons, fireworks, explosives, and munitions are not permitted inside the stadium.

Ball Arena

Weapons of any kind are prohibited, including knives, pepper spray/aerosols, stun guns, concealed weapons, firearms, and ammunition.

Bank of America Stadium

Weapons of any kind and size, including guns, knives, scissors, and those carried with a permit, are prohibited.

Barclays Center

Weapons of any type are prohibited, including firearms, ammunition, explosives, stun guns, mace, pepper spray, knives, blades, and other sharp objects.

Beaver Stadium

Weapons of any kind are not permitted inside the stadium; Penn State's general weapons policy also bans firearms/weapons elsewhere on university property and at university-sponsored activities.

Bell Centre

All weapons, knives (including pocketknives, cutters, and blades), pepper spray/aerosols, and blunt or dangerous objects are prohibited.

Ben Hill Griffin Stadium

Weapons of any kind are prohibited inside the stadium.

Bill Snyder Family Stadium

Firearms, explosives (including fireworks), and other weapons are prohibited; metal detectors are used at all public gates to comply with Kansas law prohibiting concealed carry into the stadium.

Bobby Dodd Stadium at Historic Grant Field

Firearms and other weapons are not permitted inside the stadium, including for off-duty law enforcement.

Boone Pickens Stadium

No weapons or firearms of any kind are permitted in Boone Pickens Stadium.

Bridgeforth Stadium

Weapons, controlled substances, and fireworks are prohibited; concealed-carry permit holders (including off-duty/retired police) are not exempt.

Broadview Stadium

All weapons of any type are prohibited. As a SUNY state-operated campus, Buffalo is governed by SUNY Board of Trustees Rule 8 NYCRR §535.3(j) and §590, which prohibits firearms and weapons on campus absent written campus-president authorization, reinforced by New York's Concealed Carry Improvement Act designating SUNY campuses as "sensitive locations" where concealed carry is banned statewide regardless of permit.

Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium

Weapons of any kind, including pocket knives, are prohibited with no exceptions, including for concealed-carry permit holders; as a private university, Duke opts out entirely of North Carolina's vehicle-storage exception for permit holders that applies at public schools, maintaining a total ban.

Brooks Stadium

Weapons, concealed weapons, and mace/pepper spray are explicitly prohibited.

Bryant-Denny Stadium

Weapons and firearms of any kind are strictly prohibited.

Busch Gardens Williamsburg

Firearms, ammunition, knives, and weapons of any kind are prohibited, as are self-defense or restraining devices such as pepper spray or mace.

Busch Stadium

Firearms, knives longer than 4 inches, stun guns, fireworks, and weapons of any kind are prohibited.

CEFCU Stadium

Weapons are explicitly prohibited. California Penal Code §626.9, the Gun-Free School Zone Act, prohibits bringing or possessing a firearm on the grounds of any California public or private university, with only narrow exceptions requiring written permission from the university president or designee; a post-Bruen state-law change (effective ~Jan. 1, 2024) removed the prior exemption for valid CCW-permit holders, meaning concealed-carry permit holders are not exempted at California public universities, the same pattern already confirmed at Cal Berkeley.

Caesars Superdome

Weapons of any kind are prohibited, and Louisiana state law bans the possession of firearms on the premises.

California Memorial Stadium

Weapons are listed as a prohibited item; California's Gun-Free School Zone Act (Penal Code §626.9, as amended by AB 2609) prohibits bringing a firearm onto UC campus grounds without written permission of the university president or designee, with no concealed-carry exception for university campuses regardless of a CCW permit.

Camp Randall Stadium

Weapons of any kind, including replicas, nooses, and ropes, are prohibited from all UW Athletics facilities.

Capital One Arena

Weapons of any kind are prohibited, including guns, knives, chains, spikes, projectiles, tasers, and mace/pepper spray.

Carter-Finley Stadium

Weapons are prohibited and enforced with walk-through weapons-detection systems installed at every stadium gate in 2024, backed by a university-wide firearms ban and North Carolina's felony-level educational-property weapons law (N.C.G.S. § 14-269.2), which carries no concealed-carry-permit exception at college athletic events.

Casino Del Sol Stadium

University-wide Arizona Board of Regents policy prohibits possession, display, or storage of weapons, dangerous instruments, explosives, or fireworks on all UA property, which includes the stadium; a concealed-carry permit does not exempt this.

Cedar Point

Firearms, ammunition, knives, and weapons of any kind are prohibited.

Center Parc Credit Union Stadium

Weapons of any kind, including firearms, knives, pepper spray, stun guns, and concealed weapons, are prohibited even if carried with a permit.

Chase Center

All weapons and dangerous devices are banned, including firearms, knives, pepper spray/mace, tasers, bats, clubs, and fireworks/flares.

Chase Field

Firearms, knives, and weapons of any kind are prohibited; only active, credentialed federal or Arizona state law enforcement officers may carry a firearm.

Citi Field

Weapons, pepper spray/mace, and lighters are prohibited items at Citi Field.

Citizens Bank Park

Firearms, knives, tasers, and other weapons or hazardous devices are prohibited, except for on-duty police officers.

Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex

Weapons are explicitly prohibited by UH Athletics. Hawaii Revised Statutes §134-9.1 independently bans firearms, licensed or not, at any stadium or sporting-event venue and separately at the campus or premises of any college or university, including athletic fields — both provisions cover this on-campus venue, under a law expanded to campuses statewide by 2023's Act 52, effective January 1, 2024.

Climate Pledge Arena

All weapons are prohibited, including firearms, knives of any size, brass knuckles, martial arts weapons, stun guns/tasers, and pepper spray/mace.

Comerica Park

Firearms, ammunition, knives of any kind, pepper spray/mace, brass knuckles, and toy/fake weapons (including squirt guns) are all banned; fan-owned baseball bats of any size are separately prohibited.

Coors Field

Fireworks, firearms, weapons, aerosol/pepper-spray products, laser pointers, sticks/clubs, and large squirt guns are prohibited.

Crypto.com Arena

All weapons are strictly banned, including firearms, knives, pepper spray, stun guns, brass knuckles, and martial arts weapons.

DATCU Stadium

Weapons of any kind, including pocket knives 3.5 inches or longer when open, are prohibited. University Policy 04.001 explicitly bars concealed handguns at any location where a collegiate sporting event is taking place, citing Texas Penal Code §46.03, the same sporting-event carve-out to Texas's SB11 campus-carry law already established at other public Texas universities this session.

Daikin Park

Weapons of any kind — including but not limited to firearms, knives, and mace — are explicitly listed as prohibited items, and all guests pass through metal detectors/weapons screening at every gate.

Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium

No weapons of any kind, including firearms, are permitted in DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium.

David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium

Weapons of any type, including concealed firearms and fireworks, are prohibited, backed by mandatory walk-through metal-detector screening of all persons entering the stadium — the same "adequate security measures" pathway under Kansas's K.S.A. 75-7c20 already documented for Kansas State's Bill Snyder Family Stadium.

Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field

Firearms and fireworks are prohibited, but pocket knives with blades of 4 inches or less (credit-card-sized) are explicitly permitted after screening; Mississippi's enhanced-carry law generally allows permit holders to carry on public university grounds, though university facilities including ticketed athletic venues are understood to be carved out under the university's own weapons policy.

Delta Center

Firearms, knives, and weapons of any kind are prohibited; ticketed guests consent to a reasonable search for weapons before entry.

Dignity Health Sports Park

Weapons of any kind are prohibited, including firearms, explosives, knives, mace/pepper spray, stun guns, and simulated weapons.

Disney California Adventure

Firearms, ammunition, knives, self-defense sprays, and any weapon-like objects or replicas are strictly prohibited.

Disney's Animal Kingdom

Firearms, ammunition, knives, weapons of any kind, and self-defense devices like pepper spray are strictly prohibited.

Disney's Hollywood Studios

Firearms, ammunition, knives, and weapons of any kind are strictly prohibited.

Disneyland Park

Firearms, ammunition, knives, and weapons of any kind are strictly prohibited, including replicas and self-defense devices.

Dix Stadium

Weapons, including pepper spray and knives/blades of any length, are explicitly prohibited. Ohio law permits open carry of firearms generally on public university property and lets each public university's Board of Trustees opt in to campus carry; Kent State's Board did not opt in, and Policy 5-22 affirmatively prohibits possession of deadly weapons inside any university building or facility for everyone, including visitors — the same declined-to-opt-in pattern already confirmed at Cincinnati, Toledo, and Ohio University.

Doak Campbell Stadium

Weapons or explosives are prohibited.

Dollywood

Weapons aren't permitted on Dollywood property, including knives with blades longer than 3.5 inches.

Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium

Weapons of any kind, including knives, clubs, firearms, and explosives, are prohibited.

Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium

Weapons of any kind are prohibited inside the stadium.

Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom

Firearms, ammunition, knives, weapons of any kind, and self-defense/restraining devices like pepper spray or mace are prohibited and grounds for removal without refund.

Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium

Weapons of any kind, including pocketknives, are explicitly prohibited.

Doyt L. Perry Stadium

BGSU has not opted in to Ohio's public-university concealed-carry allowance — concealed carry remains prohibited on BGSU property, firearms are barred from all campus buildings, and open carry by students/employees is also barred, per BGSU's own Ohio Administrative Code rule and its Police Department's Campus Carry Q&A. This matches the same declined-to-opt-in pattern already confirmed at Cincinnati, Toledo, Ohio University, Kent State, and Miami (OH). The stadium guide separately lists weapons of any kind (including pipes and chains) and pepper spray as not-permitted items.

EPCOT

Firearms, ammunition, knives, other weapons, and self-defense items like pepper spray are prohibited.

Empower Field at Mile High

Weapons, including knives, and any item that could be used as a projectile are strictly prohibited.

EverBank Stadium

Knives, guns and any weapons or explosives (real, toy or replica) are strictly prohibited.

Falcon Stadium

Firearms, knives of any type or size, pepper spray and other aerosols, stun guns, self-defense keychains, laser pointers, fireworks, and any item that could be used as a projectile are prohibited. Marijuana is explicitly noted as illegal on this federal property.

Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium

Firearms and weapons of any kind are prohibited.

Fenway Park

Firearms (even for licensed holders or off-duty police), knives, box cutters, tools, pepper spray, and mace are all prohibited.

FirstBank Stadium

Weapons of any kind, including guns, knives, pocket knives, and explosive devices, are not permitted, with attempted entry resulting in immediate arrest; Tennessee law separately authorizes private universities like Vanderbilt to set their own handgun-carry policy for their own property, unbound by the public-university faculty/permit-holder carry exceptions that apply elsewhere in the state.

Fiserv Forum

Firearms, weapons, and weapon accessories of any kind are prohibited, with no exception for valid concealed carry permits.

Flagler Credit Union Stadium

Weapons of any kind are prohibited. FAU University Policy 3.3.1 cites Florida Statutes §790.115 and §790.251, prohibiting all persons other than sworn law-enforcement officers from possessing firearms or weapons on any FAU campus, facility, or university event, including in vehicles — the same statutory basis already established at UCF, unaffected by Florida's 2023 permitless-carry law.

Folsom Field

All firearms and weapons of any type are prohibited, including handguns otherwise permitted under the Colorado Concealed Carry Act, plus knives of any size, stun guns/tasers, and replica/simulated weapons.

Ford Field

No firearms or weapons of any kind are allowed; violations result in confiscation, ejection, and possible arrest.

Frank Solich Field at Peden Stadium

Weapons, including pepper spray and knives/blades of any length, are prohibited stadium-wide. Ohio law (Ohio Rev. Code 2923.126) prohibits concealed carry on educational campuses unless the weapon is locked in a vehicle, and Ohio University's Board of Trustees has never voted to opt in to the discretionary campus-carry allowance state law gave trustees in 2016 — the same pattern already found at Cincinnati and Toledo, both public Ohio universities that also declined to opt in.

Fred C. Yager Stadium

Miami University has explicitly declined to opt in to Ohio's HB48 concealed-carry allowance ('Miami University does not permit the carrying of concealed weapons on campus and no changes are being considered'), matching the same declined-to-opt-in pattern already confirmed at Cincinnati, Toledo, Ohio University, and Kent State. The athletics-specific gameday policy separately bans weapons including pepper spray and knives/blades of any length at Yager Stadium — a stricter rule than the general campus weapons policy, which allows pepper spray campus-wide.

Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium

Explosives, firearms, and weapons are prohibited stadium items; separately, Oklahoma law (21 O.S. §1277) makes it a crime to carry a firearm — even with a valid handgun license — onto, or into areas set aside for viewing, a collegiate sporting event, which is the actual state-law mechanism behind the ban rather than a campus-carry exception.

Gerald J. Ford Stadium

Firearms, weapons, or knives of any kind are prohibited; SMU is a weapons-free campus (since at least 1994) and, as a private university, formally opted out of Texas's 2016 campus-carry law (SB 11) after community consultation, so licensed concealed handguns are also barred under Texas Penal Code 30.06.

Gesa Field at Martin Stadium

Fireworks, weapons, and explosive devices are listed as prohibited items. Washington Administrative Code prohibits possession or use of firearms and other dangerous weapons on WSU campus and at WSU-sponsored events for both students and the general public, with a valid concealed pistol license providing no exemption from the campus-wide prohibition.

Gies Memorial Stadium

Weapons of any kind, including pocket knives, are explicitly prohibited; Illinois's Firearm Concealed Carry Act (430 ILCS 66) designates any stadium or arena under the control of a collegiate sporting event as a statutory prohibited area for concealed carry, layered on top of a blanket state-law ban on carrying firearms on university property.

Gillette Stadium

Weapons of any kind, including pocket and utility knives, are prohibited.

Glass Bowl

Weapons of any kind are prohibited under the Rocket Rule of Conduct; the University of Toledo's own Board-adopted rule (Ohio Admin. Code 3364-61-03) applies to all university buildings, venues, and parking, citing Ohio Rev. Code 2923.11, and a valid Ohio concealed-carry permit is not an exemption — Toledo chose to remain a gun-free zone even after Ohio law gave trustees discretion to allow campus carry.

Globe Life Field

No weapons of any kind are permitted, even if properly permitted or registered, explicitly including pepper spray and pocket knives — the same statutory mechanism as the University of Texas and Texas A&M stadiums (Texas Penal Code §46.03(a)(8), which bars weapons on the premises of a professional sporting event) applies here regardless of Texas's separate SB11 campus-carry law, which does not govern pro venues.

Great American Ball Park

Firearms and other deadly weapons are prohibited, including for guests with a concealed-carry license.

Hancock Whitney Stadium

University Firearms Policy 2101 prohibits all dangerous weapons, including firearms, pellet guns, tasers, and knives over 3 inches, on all University-owned or managed property, with a narrow exception for an unloaded, locked, out-of-sight firearm in a lawfully parked personal vehicle; Alabama law does not permit concealed carry on any public or private college campus in the state.

Hard Rock Stadium

Weapons and any item that could be used as a projectile or is deemed dangerous, including firearms, knives, and pocket knives, are prohibited.

Hersheypark

Weapons of any type are prohibited, including firearms, ammunition, knives, explosives, mace/pepper spray, and weapon-resembling toys.

Highmark Stadium

Weapons, including knives, box-cutters, and firearms, are prohibited from Highmark Stadium.

Houchens Industries-L.T. Smith Stadium

Weapons and knives of any size are listed as categorically prohibited items. WKU's university-wide Concealed Weapons policy bars possession, concealed or otherwise, of firearms and other dangerous weapons on any WKU-owned or controlled property, with the sole exception being weapons secured in a private vehicle parked on university property, per the 2012 Kentucky Supreme Court ruling Mitchell v. University of Kentucky — the same statewide pattern already confirmed at Kentucky and Louisville. Kentucky has not enacted a statewide campus-carry mandate; a 2023 bill that would have forced public universities to permit concealed carry in buildings failed to reach a floor vote.

Huntington Bank Field

Weapons of any kind are strictly prohibited, including firearms, knives, mace/pepper spray, and sticks, poles, bats, or clubs.

Huntington Bank Stadium

Weapons are prohibited outright under Board of Regents policy, which bans possession or carrying of any firearm or dangerous weapon by any person on all University property, including stadiums used for University events; narrow exceptions exist for on-duty peace officers, approved military training, and lawful storage of a firearm inside a personal vehicle.

Husky Stadium

Weapons are not on the stadium's approved items list and are not permitted inside; all guests and items are subject to search.

JMA Wireless Dome

Weapons of any kind, including pocket knives, are prohibited at all venues, with metal detectors at all Dome gates; New York Penal Law separately criminalizes knowing possession of a firearm on the grounds of any school, public or private, without written institutional authorization, reinforcing Syracuse's own ban regardless of any state concealed-carry allowance elsewhere.

Jim Wacker Field at UFCU Stadium

Texas State posts a formal Penal Code §30.06 trespass notice excluding licensed concealed handgun carry from athletic facilities — the specific mechanism by which UFCU Stadium opts out of Texas's general SB11 campus-carry law for sporting events, consistent with the Penal Code §46.03/46.035 stadium carve-out used at other Texas public schools.

Joan C. Edwards Stadium

Weapons, including pocketknives and firearms, are prohibited; the stadium is enforced as a gun-free zone via weapon-detector screening despite West Virginia's campus carry law.

Johnny "Red" Floyd Stadium

Weapons are explicitly prohibited, governed campus-wide by MTSU Policy 705, which is stricter inside the stadium than elsewhere on campus: even the narrow "authorized employee" concealed-carry exception available to permit-holding full-time staff at this public university does not apply at stadiums during university-related events, meaning no one may carry a weapon during a football game regardless of permit status.

Jonah Field at War Memorial Stadium

Weapons are explicitly listed as a prohibited item at all entries. Wyoming's campus-carry law (HB 172, effective July 1, 2025) generally allows Wyoming-permit holders to carry concealed handguns in most campus buildings, but explicitly excludes War Memorial Stadium during any athletic event where alcohol is currently being served — since alcohol is sold at football games, concealed carry is effectively prohibited on gamedays under this alcohol-triggered carve-out.

Jones AT&T Stadium

Firearms, weapons, explosives and fireworks are prohibited inside the stadium; all guests are screened at every gate with the Evolv Weapons Detection System in addition to the clear bag policy, and prohibited items cannot be left at the gate.

Jordan-Hare Stadium

Weapons, including pocket knives, are prohibited and must be left at home or locked in a vehicle.

Kaseya Center

Weapons of any kind are prohibited.

Kauffman Stadium

Weapons and fireworks — including all guns and pocket knives — plus toy guns and toy knives are prohibited.

Kelly/Shorts Stadium

Weapons are explicitly prohibited stadium-wide. CMU's Weapons Policy (3-5) bans possession, discharge, or use of any weapon on all CMU-owned, leased, or controlled property, explicitly stating this applies regardless of whether the individual holds a concealed weapon permit — the same property-based-ban pattern already confirmed at Western Michigan, since Michigan has no statute forcing public universities to allow concealed carry.

Kenan Memorial Stadium

Weapons of any kind are prohibited inside Kenan Stadium.

Kidd Brewer Stadium

"Weapons of any kind," firearms, and explosives are banned.

Kings Island

Firearms, ammunition, knives, weapons of any kind, and self-defense items like pepper spray/mace are banned park-wide.

Kinnick Stadium

Firearms, explosives, and other weapons are banned, including weapons carried under a permit.

Knott's Berry Farm

Firearms, ammunition, knives, and any weapons (including self-defense items like pepper spray/mace) are strictly prohibited.

Kroger Field

All weapons, including firearms carried concealed or openly, are prohibited at Kroger Field per Kentucky state law (KRS 237.115); violators will be denied entry.

Kyle Field

Firearms/weapons are prohibited at Kyle Field on gameday — the same statutory mechanism as the University of Texas's own stadium (Texas Penal Code §46.03(a)(8), which bars weapons at any collegiate sporting event) rather than a school-specific policy choice, so it applies regardless of Texas's SB11 campus-carry law.

L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium

Deadly weapons of any kind are prohibited on any UofL-owned or controlled property, including athletics facilities, under the university's official weapons policy, which is grounded in Kentucky's KRS 237.115 — the same statutory basis already documented for Kentucky Wildcats' Kroger Field.

LaVell Edwards Stadium

Weapons of any type are prohibited inside the stadium.

Lambeau Field

Firearms and other weapons are prohibited anywhere on Packers property, including parking lots, regardless of Wisconsin's concealed carry law.

Lane Stadium

Fireworks, explosives, and weapons are prohibited.

Larry Blakeney Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium

Weapons or any object deemed hazardous by stadium management are prohibited; university-wide, firearms are banned in all buildings and public areas, with the only exception being storage in a locked vehicle compartment. Troy, a public university, maintains this ban under its own institutional authority even after Alabama's 2023 permitless-carry law removed the state permit requirement generally.

Levi's Stadium

Weapons, including pocket knives and silverware, are prohibited.

Lincoln Financial Field

Weapons including guns, tasers, chemical sprays, brass knuckles, knives, pocketknives, box cutters, and scissors are prohibited.

Little Caesars Arena

Firearms, ammunition, pepper spray, mace, brass knuckles, toy or fake weapons, squirt guns, and knives of all types and sizes are prohibited.

Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum

Firearms, knives, explosives, fireworks, lighters and laser pointers are all prohibited.

Lucas Oil Stadium

Weapons or fireworks, and missile-like/throwable objects, are prohibited inside the stadium.

Lumen Field

Guns, knives, pepper spray, brass knuckles, loose batteries, wires, and box cutters are strictly prohibited.

M&T Bank Stadium

Weapons or dangerous objects of any kind are prohibited inside the stadium.

Mackay Stadium

Firearms and other dangerous weapons are prohibited on all university property, including Mackay Stadium, without prior written authorization from the university president or a designated agent; a standard Nevada concealed-carry permit does not override this requirement, under NRS 202.265 and the NSHE/UNR Code of Conduct.

Magic Kingdom

Firearms, ammunition, knives, and weapons of any kind — including realistic-looking toy weapons — are prohibited, with no exception for concealed-carry permit holders.

McGuirk Alumni Stadium

Weapons are explicitly listed as a prohibited item both inside the stadium and in the tailgating/parking areas (alongside fireworks/pyrotechnics), consistent with Massachusetts' generally restrictive gun laws.

McLane Stadium

Baylor is a weapons-free campus: as a private university it opted out of Texas's campus-carry law (SB 11), and firearms, explosives, other dangerous weapons, and replicas are prohibited everywhere on Baylor property, including McLane Stadium, under Texas Penal Code Sec. 46.03.

Memorial Stadium (Clemson)

Weapons of any kind, including knives, are prohibited.

Memorial Stadium (Indiana)

Weapons of any type, including any item deemed by IU or Event Services to be unsafe or a security issue, are not permitted.

Memorial Stadium (Nebraska)

Weapons including guns and knives are prohibited, consistent with state law; an exception applies to off-duty credentialed law enforcement.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium

All weapons, including knives, pepper spray, stun guns, and firearms, are prohibited.

Merlin Olsen Field at Maverik Stadium

USU's own gameday pages list weapons as prohibited 'except as expressly permitted by state law.' Utah has allowed licensed concealed carry on public university campuses since 2004, expanded in 2025 (HB 128) to permit open carry with a valid Concealed Carry Permit on public campuses generally — this is a state-level allowance, not a stadium-specific exception, and USU's own site does not spell out whether it applies inside the stadium bowl itself.

MetLife Stadium

Weapons, including firearms and knives, and any item that could be used as a projectile or is deemed dangerous, are prohibited.

Michie Stadium

Firearms, knives, and weapons of any kind are prohibited.

Michigan Stadium

All weapons are prohibited inside Michigan Stadium.

MidAmerican Energy Field at Jack Trice Stadium

Possession of a firearm or weapon is explicitly prohibited under the Fan Code of Conduct; Iowa's Board of Regents maintains a general no-firearms-on-campus rule across its universities, with Iowa Code §724.8C providing only a narrow carve-out for a locked, concealed weapon inside a personal vehicle, not campus-carry into buildings or stadiums.

Milan Puskar Stadium

Weapons, including concealed firearms, are prohibited, along with mace and pepper spray.

Mountain America Stadium

Weapons of any kind, pitchforks, and sticks/poles usable as weapons are banned. Arizona Board of Regents Policy 5-308 bans possession, display, or storage of any weapon or dangerous instrument on university property or at a university-sponsored activity, overriding Arizona's otherwise permissive concealed-carry laws for this setting; the only carve-outs are a firearm locked out of sight in a personal vehicle, sworn law enforcement, university-approved academic use, and personal self-defense items like pepper spray.

Nationals Park

Weapons of any kind (explicitly including pocket knives), fireworks, self-defense sprays, and toy weapons are prohibited.

Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium

Firearms are prohibited, along with pepper spray, laser pointers, chains, fireworks, aerosol cans, illegal substances, and any item deemed dangerous or inappropriate by management.

Neyland Stadium

Weapons, including pocket knives, are prohibited inside the venue.

Nippert Stadium

Knives, guns, explosives, and fireworks are explicitly prohibited stadium-wide; the University of Cincinnati has not opted in to Ohio's law (Ohio HB 48) allowing schools to permit concealed carry, so campus/venue policy continues to bar concealed handguns outright.

Nissan Stadium

Weapons of any kind, including any item with a blade such as pocket knives or scissors, are prohibited.

Northwest Stadium

Weapons, firearms, illegal drugs, knives, and self-defense spray are banned, including for off-duty law enforcement.

Notre Dame Stadium

Weapons of any kind are prohibited on campus, independent of any state law — as a private university, Notre Dame's ban rests on its own property-owner policy rather than a state mandate.

Nu Stadium

Weapons of any kind — including firearms, knives, explosives (actual, toy, or replica), pepper spray, mace and tasers — are prohibited.

Ohio Stadium

Weapons, firearms, and items that mimic weapons are strictly prohibited; possession results in immediate confiscation, ejection, and/or arrest.

Oracle Park

Weapons of any kind are banned, including for off-duty law enforcement and licensed CCW permit holders.

Oriole Park at Camden Yards

Weapons of any kind, including plastic and toy weapons, knives, sticks/clubs, and toy guns (including water guns), are prohibited.

Our Lady of Lourdes Stadium

Weapons of any type are prohibited on every official athletics page. Louisiana Revised Statutes §14:95.2 makes it a felony to carry a firearm or dangerous weapon on any Louisiana college/university campus or at a school-sponsored function (explicitly including athletic competitions), applying even to holders of a valid concealed-handgun permit, with no campus-carry exception for spectators.

PNC Park

Weapons of any kind are prohibited.

Paycor Stadium

Weapons, fireworks, flammable objects, mace/pepper spray, and items like sticks, bats, poles, clubs, and selfie sticks are prohibited.

Petco Park

Firearms, knives of any type, sticks or clubs, toy guns/knives (including water guns), and other weapons (tasers, nunchaku, pepper spray, mace, expandable batons) are prohibited.

Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field

Weapons of any kind, including weapons carried with a permit, are prohibited.

Progressive Field

All weapons are prohibited, including knives of any size and firearms — this ban extends even to individuals with a concealed carry permit.

Protective Stadium

Weapons and firearms of all kinds are prohibited, including for off-duty law enforcement; knives, brass knuckles, stun guns, pepper spray, tear gas, explosives, and fireworks are also explicitly listed.

Rate Field

Firearms and weapons are prohibited.

Raymond James Stadium

Firearms, knives (sheath/hunting-type/switchblades), pepper spray/mace, explosives, and fireworks are prohibited, except firearms carried by those authorized under Florida law (e.g. law enforcement).

Reliant Stadium

Weapons and firearms are on the official prohibited items list.

Reser Stadium

Firearms and weapons of any kind are banned campus-wide and specifically inside the stadium; Oregon law normally allows an affirmative defense for concealed-handgun-license holders, but a separate state statute lets public universities remove that defense on their own property, and Oregon State has done so — meaning even a valid concealed-carry license does not protect someone carrying on campus.

Rice Stadium

Weapons of any kind are prohibited at stadium gates. Rice, as a private university, opted out of Texas's SB11 campus-carry law entirely in 2015, posting a formal Texas Penal Code §§30.05/30.06/30.07 trespass notice barring any firearm, concealed or open, anywhere on campus — the same complete opt-out pattern already established at Baylor and SMU. The broader Weapons Prohibition Policy separately bans firearms, explosives, and other dangerous weapons under Texas Penal Code §§46.03 and 46.035, with narrow exceptions only for locked-vehicle storage, commissioned law enforcement, and official ROTC activities.

Rice-Eccles Stadium

Weapons are listed as a prohibited item, except as expressly permitted by state law.

Rogers Centre

Firearms, weapons (including knives and pocket knives), and any item usable as a projectile are prohibited, with a narrow religious exception for a Kirpan carried by a baptized Khalsa Sikh.

Rose Bowl Stadium

Weapons or projectiles of any kind are prohibited.

Ross-Ade Stadium

Purdue's facilities-use policy bans possession, fabrication, use, or distribution of any explosives, guns, or other deadly or dangerous materials or weapons at university facilities absent specific authorization; unlike states with a legislated campus-carry mandate, Indiana leaves the decision to each public institution, and Purdue independently prohibits weapons campus-wide, including at athletics facilities.

S.B. Ballard Stadium

Fireworks, firearms, or other weapons are explicitly prohibited.

SECU Stadium

Weapons (both real and facsimiles) and fireworks/firearms are listed prohibited items; the university's campuswide weapons policy bars carrying, possessing, or transporting firearms, replica firearms, BB/pellet guns, most knives, and explosives anywhere on university property, including personal vehicles on campus, with Maryland recognizing no right to carry a concealed or open firearm onto university property regardless of a state carry permit.

SHI Stadium

Scott Stadium

Sonny Lubick Field at Canvas Stadium

Firearms and other weapons are strictly prohibited in Canvas Stadium and on the Colorado State University campus; Colorado's SB24-131 (effective July 1, 2024) newly prohibits carrying a firearm, openly or concealed, in a "sensitive space" that explicitly includes public college/university campuses, superseding a prior decade in which a 2012 state supreme court ruling had required public universities to allow licensed concealed carry.

Weapons and firearms of any kind are prohibited.

Firearms and weapons of any kind are prohibited, including for off-duty or retired law enforcement or military personnel.

Stafford-Smith Field at Waldo Stadium

Weapons are listed as a stadium prohibited item, reinforced campus-wide by WMU Board of Trustees Policy 16-05 ("Weapons on Campus," effective June 1, 1999), which bars possession of firearms or other dangerous weapons on university property with narrow exceptions for police and licensed transport agents. Michigan's concealed-pistol law only bars permit holders from dormitories/classrooms specifically, so WMU's broader campus-wide ban rests on the university's own institutional property authority rather than the state concealed-carry statute itself.

Stanford Stadium

Weapons and replica weapons are prohibited at all Stanford Athletics venues; the university's weapons policy prohibits firearms and various edged/projectile weapons under California Penal Code §§626.10 and 626.9, which apply on both public and private university grounds regardless of a concealed-carry permit.

New Mexico's campus-firearms statute (NMSA 1978 §30-7-2.4) makes it a petty misdemeanor to carry a firearm on the premises of a public post-secondary institution, with only a narrow exception for adults 19+ carrying in a private vehicle — the firearm may not be carried on foot or into a facility.
