Missouri venues — what you can bring in

Packaroni tracks 87 verified policies across 4 venues in Missouri — Kansas City, St. Louis, Columbia. 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 Missouri

The patterns that hold across stadium & arena venues here — the kind of comparison no single venue's website will give you.

  • All 4 restrict bags in some way — expect a size limit, a clear-bag rule, or both.
  • All 4 allow your own water, but with conditions — typically sealed, plastic, and under a set size.
  • Outside food: 2 of the 4 ban it outright, 1 allows it with limits, and 1 allows it.
  • Coolers: 3 of the 4 ban them and 1 allows a limited cooler.
  • None of the 4 permit you to bring your own alcohol.
  • Strollers and wagons: 1 of the 4 turns them away and 3 cap the size or ban wagons.
  • 4 of the 4 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.
