California venues — what you can bring in
Packaroni tracks 434 verified policies across 23 venues in California — Anaheim, San Jose, Berkeley, San Francisco, and 12 more. Every entry below links back to the venue's own published rule and carries the date it was last checked.
What the rules look like in California
The patterns that hold across stadium & arena and theme & amusement park venues here — the kind of comparison no single venue's website will give you.
- All 22 restrict bags in some way — expect a size limit, a clear-bag rule, or both.
- Outside water: 1 of the 22 bans it entirely, 17 allow it sealed or size-limited, and 4 let you bring your own.
- Outside food: 6 of the 21 ban it outright, 14 allow it with limits, and 1 allows it.
- Coolers: 16 of the 22 ban them and 6 allow a limited cooler.
- Bringing your own alcohol: 20 of the 22 prohibit it and 2 allow it conditionally.
- Strollers and wagons: 2 of the 19 turn them away, 15 cap the size or ban wagons, and 2 welcome them.
- 21 of the 23 charge a fee for at least one item — usually bag storage or a locker — so bringing something you can't carry in may still cost you.

There's no on-site bag check, but a Binbox Locker can be rented near the Kobe Bryant Entrance for bags that don't meet the size limit.
General bag storage isn't addressed, but coolers over the park's size limit can be stored in picnic lockers outside the Main Entrance.
Paid on-site bag storage is available at the Marina Gate (behind center field), open from gate-opening until one hour after the game ends.
Bag check lockers are available for rent outside the stadium. Two official pages describe the location slightly differently ("east side" vs. "southeast corner on Innovation Parkway"), likely the same spot; the fee is not confirmed on the official pages.
Three bag-check stations are available around the stadium entry points for items that don't meet the clear-bag policy.
Parking
General parking is $25 in-person / $27 online; preferred parking is $35 in-person / $37 online (subject to availability); oversized vehicle/bus parking is $100 in-person only.

Fee: $40/stall single-game; $25-$5,000 season options
California Memorial Stadium doesn't offer on-site parking at all, per secondary sources — fans instead use nearby garages: the Center Street garage (~$25 flat), Oxford Garage (~$20 flat), and Telegraph Channing garage (~$35 flat), or a free UC Berkeley Gameday Shuttle connecting Downtown Berkeley BART to stadium drop-off points.
Fee: ~$25 (Center St garage, per secondary sources, unconfirmed officially); ~$20 (Oxford Garage); ~$35 (Telegraph Channing); free (Gameday Shuttle from BART)
The arena's official parking page wasn't fetched directly for this entry — secondary sources describe a Warriors-branded prepaid pass at $40 (the cheapest official option) with garage/lot rates otherwise ranging roughly $30-60, surging well above that for high-demand games.
Fee: $40 prepaid pass (cheapest official option, per secondary sources); $30-60+ typical garage/lot range
The arena's official parking page wasn't fetchable at the URL tried — secondary sources describe official arena-owned lots (around 3,300 spaces) at roughly $30-40 for most events, including a West Garage (Lot W) with a flat rate that varies by event, plus offsite garages nearby from about $22-26.
Fee: $30-40 official lots (per secondary sources, unconfirmed officially); $22-26 offsite
The venue's own site wasn't fetched directly for this entry — secondary sources put standard parking at $30/vehicle, a limited number of preferred spaces at $40, and valet at $75, with rates subject to change by event.

Secondary sources (citing the official product page as of September 2026) put General Parking at $40 when purchased online, with onsite/gate rates said to start around $30 depending on vehicle type — this wasn't independently confirmed from a first-party fetch for this entry.
Fee: $40 online general (per secondary sources, unconfirmed officially); ~$30 onsite starting; $90 all-season pass
Parking exists but is sold by lot/zone through the stadium's own "Buy Parking" portal rather than at one flat rate — distance from the gate and event demand both affect price.
USC's own gameday parking page wasn't fetchable for a rate table on this pass — secondary sources put general campus parking structures at $50/vehicle, first-come-first-served and cashless, with limited prepaid reserved spots (Flower Street/Royal Street Structures) around $60.50 when booked in advance; other campus lots are reported anywhere from $23-60+.

Fee: $12-25 typical (per secondary sources, unconfirmed officially); up to $140 for high-demand/playoff games
The Padres' own site confirms named lots operated by Ace Parking (Padres Parkade, Tailgate Park, Lexus Premier Lot, Park 12 Valet) and their opening times, but doesn't publish a flat rate — secondary sources put typical prices at $15-55 depending on proximity, with the Tailgate Park lot being the only one allowing tailgating.
Fee: $15-55 by lot (per secondary sources, mechanism confirmed officially)
Single-game parking is $38 purchased in advance or $44 day-of; RV parking (west drive) is $128 advance / $154 day-of. Rates are higher for the USC rivalry game: $48 advance / $59 day-of for cars, $153 advance / $179 day-of for RVs.
Fee: $38 advance / $44 day-of (standard games); $48/$59 (vs. USC); $128/$154 RV (standard); $153/$179 RV (vs. USC)
SeaWorld San Diego's own parking/rentals page returned no fetchable pricing content — secondary sources put General Parking starting around $25 online (rising on weekends/holidays/peak days, up to roughly $35), Up-Close Parking around $55, and VIP Parking around $77.

Exact per-game pricing varies and is announced when the event goes on sale; an SDSU overflow campus lot runs $3/hour via PayByPhone.
Fee: Varies by event; SDSU overflow lot $3/hour
On-site parking exists, but pricing isn't fixed — it varies per event and is announced when tickets go on sale, and advance purchase is required for the best price and to guarantee a spot.
Stanford's own gameday-central page confirms single-game public parking is sold in the General Lots (7 & 8) and IM South (Lot 4), with the Cardinal Lots reserved for season ticket members — a specific rate wasn't found on the fetched page. Secondary sources report passes starting around $16 on the resale market, with season members saving over 50% versus single-game rates.
Fee: ~$16+ starting, resale (per secondary sources, unconfirmed officially); season members save 50%+
The Athletics' own parking page wasn't fetchable at the URL tried — secondary sources put the Main Lot at $30/car for A's games and the closer VIP Green Lot at $40.
Fee: $30 Main Lot (per secondary sources, unconfirmed officially); $40 VIP Green Lot
General parking is $35, preferred is $50, and Front Gate parking is $70; after 5pm, General drops to $10 and Preferred to $20.

Cannabis / Marijuana
Covered under the general "illegal drugs" prohibited-items entry; San Jose State's Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act program states marijuana remains prohibited on campus regardless of California's state legalization because it is federally Schedule I.
The stadium's prohibited-items list bans illegal drugs generally; UC Berkeley's official cannabis policy confirms campus-wide prohibition despite California's Prop 64 legalization, since cannabis remains federally illegal, with smoking cannabis also barred under the UC Smoke and Tobacco Free Environment policy.
No cannabis-specific statement exists, but general prohibited-items rules ban 'drugs, illegal substances' and enforce a venue-wide smoke-free policy covering all smoking and vaping.
Cannabis is banned despite California's recreational legality — the venue groups "drugs and/or illegal substances" together as prohibited.
Marijuana, including marijuana-enriched products, is banned throughout the resort regardless of California state law.
Smoking marijuana or other illegal substances is not permitted at any time.
Cannabis and cannabis products are prohibited on stadium premises.

Marijuana and drug paraphernalia are prohibited on property, regardless of California's recreational-use laws.
