Kansas venues — what you can bring in

Only clear plastic/vinyl/PVC bags up to 12" x 6" x 12", one-gallon clear freezer bags, or small clutches are allowed inside the stadium.

Max size: 12" x 6" x 12" clear bag, or 1-gallon clear freezer bag, plus one 5.5" x 7.5" clutch per person

Clear plastic/vinyl/PVC bags up to 12" x 6" x 12", a 1-gallon clear freezer bag, or one small clutch (roughly 5.5" x 8.5") are allowed; backpacks, duffels, larger purses, fanny packs, diaper bags, mesh bags, tinted totes, camera/binocular cases, and chairbacks are banned.

Max size: 12" x 6" x 12" clear bag or 1-gallon clear freezer bag; small clutch ~5.5" x 8.5"

Fee: $5 bag-check service available for those who don't want to return items to their car.

One factory-sealed (or empty) clear plastic bottle of water, flavored water, or sports drink up to 1 liter is allowed; frozen bottles are prohibited.

Max size: 1 liter, clear plastic commercial container

Containers, bottles, cans, and other liquid containers are listed under prohibited items, with no explicit empty-bottle or sealed-water exception found.

Outside food is not allowed into the stadium; only concessions purchased inside are permitted.

Food is explicitly named as a prohibited item; outside food is not allowed, and concessions are available inside.

Items required for medical, family, or childcare needs are permitted after inspection in a clear bag; medically necessary equipment that doesn't fit is inspected and tagged by security.

An exception is made for medically necessary items after proper inspection by a supervisor at each gate; guests with medical devices are asked to notify Event Staff for assisted screening rather than using the walk-through detector.

Outside alcohol is strictly prohibited; beer, wine, seltzers and canned cocktails are sold inside the stadium to guests 21+ with valid ID, limited to two per transaction, with sales ending at the end of the third quarter.

Fee: Purchased in-stadium only

Outside alcohol (BYOB) is prohibited; beer and wine are sold stadium-wide via concessions as of the 2025 season, while served/hosted liquor remains restricted to Scholarship Suites and the Touchdown Club, with sales cutting off at the end of the 3rd quarter.

Controlled substances are listed among prohibited items alongside alcoholic beverages; K-State's official guide does not name cannabis specifically but bans controlled substances generally.

Not addressed by name, but covered under the Fan Code of Conduct's ban on possession or use of illegal drugs; Kansas has not legalized recreational or medical marijuana, so cannabis remains illegal under state law with no stadium-specific carve-out.

Coolers, ice chests, picnic baskets, and insulated beverage containers are prohibited inside the stadium.

Coolers are explicitly listed as a prohibited item.

Strollers are permitted if collapsible and stored under a seat or in a handicap bunker at owner's risk; oversized strollers can be checked at Bramlage Coliseum's south concourse.

Strollers are explicitly listed as a prohibited item.

Breast pumps and supplies are permitted in a dedicated or clear bag, subject to inspection and tagging; nursing mothers' rooms are available on the west concourse (between Gates A-B) and the south concourse.

Wheelchairs and scooters for guests with disabilities are accommodated with dedicated elevators, wheelchair seating with 3 companion seats, and accessible drop-off/parking, but these devices are still subject to screening and search since standard walk-through metal detectors are not accessible for them — hand screening is used instead.

Bikes are explicitly prohibited alongside umbrellas and strollers; hoverboards, personal scooters, and skateboards are not separately addressed.

Personal cameras are allowed for personal use without a case, but commercial-style cameras with large lenses, stands or tripods, and video cameras, are prohibited.

Video cameras and camera or binocular cases are explicitly prohibited; no explicit rule addresses small point-and-shoot or phone cameras carried without a case.

Drones, model aircraft, or any other remote-controlled flying objects may not be brought or operated inside the stadium or surrounding parking lots.

Drone flights over campus require prior approval from KU Marketing (at least 3 business days' notice); flights over or around Memorial Stadium are barred from 1 hour before to 1 hour after football games, and flights within 300 feet of any outdoor KU athletic event are prohibited outright except for Kansas Athletics' own use.

Umbrellas are prohibited for the safety of other guests; they will not be checked, and are the owner's responsibility if left at the gate.

Umbrellas are explicitly prohibited.

Hand-held banners and pep signs are allowed if reasonably sized, storable under a seat, and non-obstructive with no profanity; noisemakers and large or sight-line-obstructing flags are prohibited.

Horns, whistles, boom boxes, and other noisemakers are explicitly banned; poles or sticks of any kind (including flag/banner poles) and objects that obstruct another patron's view are prohibited, though small handheld flags without poles are not explicitly addressed.

Blankets may be carried over an arm or shoulder for screening; seat cushions/chairbacks are allowed only if 18 inches or less in width with no pockets, zippers, compartments, or covers.

Max size: Seat cushions/chairbacks: 18" width or less, no pockets/zippers/compartments/covers

Chairbacks (seat-back cushions) are explicitly listed as a prohibited item; blankets are not addressed in any official source found.

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.

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.

University policy prohibits smoking of cigarettes, cigars, and pipes, as well as e-cigarettes, vaporizers, and hookah/water pipe devices, anywhere on university property except inside personal vehicles.

Smoking, including the use of electronic cigarettes, is explicitly listed as a banned behavior.

Costumes are allowed, but masks/facial coverings must be removed during security screening, on the concourse, and at concession/retail locations; costume accessories with sharp edges or hard plastic/metal (e.g., fake weapons) are not allowed.

Live animals are prohibited inside the stadium except service dogs.

Pets and animals are generally prohibited except service animals for guests with disabilities, for whom 5 days' advance notice to the Facilities Office is requested but not required; live mascots/animals are separately banned even for visiting teams.

Fans may exit and re-enter with a ticket scanned out and back in; after the end of the third quarter, entry and re-entry are limited to Gate D (west) and Gate E (east), and belongings are subject to search on re-entry.

A "No Re-Entry/No Pass" policy was instituted alongside stadium-wide alcohol sales; guests who leave the stadium generally cannot return without a new ticket.

K-State Athletics venues, including the stadium, operate on entirely cashless payment systems (credit/debit only) for tickets, concessions, and merchandise; checks are not accepted.

Patrons are subject to inspection of their person, bags, and clothing capable of concealing prohibited items; patrons may refuse inspection but management reserves the right to refuse entry.
