Indiana venues — what you can bring in

Only one clear plastic/vinyl/PVC bag no larger than 12"x6"x12" (or a one-gallon clear freezer bag), plus one small clutch/purse up to 4.5"x6.5", are permitted, per the NFL's leaguewide Clear Bag Policy.

Max size: 12"x6"x12" (main bag); 4.5"x6.5" (clutch)

The stadium's own parking page returned no fetchable pricing content — secondary sources put typical event parking at $20-40 depending on lot and distance, with premium tailgating spots reported as high as $100; Denison Parking operates roughly 2,000 spaces in lots surrounding the stadium.

Fee: $20-40 typical (per secondary sources, unconfirmed officially); up to $100 premium tailgating

An IU Athletics gameday parking guidelines document (hosted on iuhoosiers.com, not independently re-fetched for this entry) cites RV lot parking at $200 and ADA parking at $50/game. Grass-lot passes must be purchased in advance (not available at the gate) and open a minimum of 5 hours before kickoff.

Fee: $200 RV / $50 ADA (per an official-domain PDF, not independently re-verified this pass); $25-48+ general resale, higher for marquee games

The only official reserved-parking page found (Edison, Edison North, and Tower lots at $25 each) is a stale, unchanged press release dated October 2002, so it isn't treated as reliable current pricing. Secondary sources describe parking starting around $30/vehicle depending on lot for the current season.

Fee: ~$30/vehicle current estimate (per secondary sources); $25/lot per a stale 2002 official page, not relied upon

Secondary sources put IM-fields pay-lot parking (Goldfields, Black, North) at $20 cash, and two campus parking garages (University Street, Northwestern Avenue) open to the public on gamedays for $10 — this wasn't independently confirmed from a first-party fetch for this entry. Parking is free about a mile away on foot.

Fee: $20 IM-fields lots (per secondary sources, unconfirmed officially); $10 campus garages; $40 RV4 (+$20 trailer)

Guests may bring in one empty plastic water bottle and refill it at water stations located throughout the concourses; sealed/filled outside beverages are not permitted.

Fans may bring one empty clear water bottle (up to 64 oz.) into the stadium to fill at water stations on the concourse; any bottle with liquid in it must be dumped out at entry.

Sealed or filled water bottles cannot be brought in, but an empty non-glass water bottle or cup is allowed and can be refilled inside.

One sealed, disposable water bottle up to 20 oz. is permitted.

Necessary medical equipment that doesn't fit in a clear bag is permitted after inspection at designated gates (E2/E4 on the east side, W2/W3 on the west side).

Medical bags and equipment are allowed but subject to additional inspection/screening at the gate, regardless of the standard clear-bag size/material rules.

Coolers are not permitted inside the stadium.

Coolers are not permitted — they don't meet the Clear Bag Policy's container requirements, so they fall under the general prohibited-bag rule.

Coolers are explicitly prohibited.

Compact, umbrella-style strollers are permitted and recommended; they must not block aisles or obstruct views, and can be folded/stored under a seat or checked at a Guest Services kiosk.

Strollers are not permitted inside the stadium, though necessary diaper bags are allowed after inspection at all gates.

Strollers are not permitted inside the stadium, and the university cannot store items belonging to guests.

Strollers are explicitly banned; wagons are not addressed on any official page found.

The operation of drones, unmanned aircraft, and remote-controlled aircraft is strictly prohibited without written permission from stadium management.

Drones are banned both by a standalone university policy covering all of campus on gamedays, and independently by a standing federal FAA flight restriction over the stadium during games.

Drone operation near people or in any open stadium with a seating capacity over 30,000 is prohibited within one hour before or after a scheduled event, per federal FAA-type restrictions reiterated on Purdue's own prohibited-items page.

Small, compact umbrellas are permitted as long as they can be placed securely under a seat and don't block aisles or obstruct other guests' views.

Umbrellas may not be carried into or used inside the stadium, and no check-in facility is available.

Small, collapsible umbrellas are allowed as long as they don't compromise the view of others; golf umbrellas and large/non-collapsible umbrellas are not.

Umbrellas are strictly prohibited inside Ross-Ade Stadium.

Artificial noisemakers (horns, whistles, bullhorns, electronic instruments, klaxons, boom boxes) are prohibited, but banners and signs are welcome as long as they aren't offensive, don't obstruct signage, and don't block other fans' views; poles or sticks may not be used to support banners.

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

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

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.

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.

Smoking, e-cigarettes/vaping, and chewless tobacco are prohibited inside the stadium and on exterior balconies; smoking is allowed only in designated outdoor areas near each gate.

The IU Bloomington campus prohibits all forms of tobacco and vaping, including e-cigarettes and other alternative nicotine products, on university property, including the stadium.

Smoking and the use of all tobacco products — cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco, snuff, pipes, and chewing tobacco — is prohibited.

Ross-Ade Stadium is a smoke-free facility, covering cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos, hookah, smokeless products, pipes, and other nicotine-delivery products, with violators subject to ejection.

CDC-approved (medical/protective) masks are permitted; Halloween-style costume masks are banned.

Personal power banks are not listed as a restricted item; guests can also rent portable phone chargers at multiple concourse locations, and the stadium has limited device-charging stations across its concourse levels.

Assistive/service animals for guests with disabilities are welcome; other animals are prohibited.

Only certified service animals are admitted; all other animals/pets are prohibited.

Pets and emotional-support/comfort animals are banned; only ADA-defined service dogs (or service dogs in training) are allowed.

Animals are prohibited inside the stadium except service dogs and service miniature horses; emotional support animals are not allowed.

No re-entry is allowed once a guest exits the gated area of the stadium during a Colts game.

Pass outs (re-entry) are available at all gates at all times during the game.

No re-entry is allowed — anyone leaving the stadium needs a new, unused ticket to get back in.

Guests are not permitted to re-enter Ross-Ade Stadium once they leave.

Laser pointers, selfie sticks or sticks/poles of any kind, promotional items with commercial slogans, and beach balls are all prohibited, along with any object that could create a nuisance, disruption, or be used as a missile.

Also prohibited: cans, glass bottles, packages, and balloons/televisions. All concessions, Team Store, Ticket Office, and parking-lot locations are cashless (major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay only). Throwing objects onto the field/into the stands is prohibited and can result in ejection.

Thrown objects (including footballs), laser/pen pointers, aerosol cans, fireworks/explosives, and projectors are all prohibited; the venue is cashless aside from a cash-to-gift-card kiosk at Gate D, and a dedicated sensory room is available for guests with sensory-processing needs.
