New York venues — what you can bring in

Bags larger than 10" x 6" x 2" or that are hard-sided are not permitted; smaller soft-sided bags are allowed after inspection.

Max size: 10" x 6" x 2"

Effective the 2025-26 season: one clear plastic/vinyl/PVC bag no larger than 12" x 6" x 12", or a one-gallon clear freezer bag, or a small non-clear clutch up to 7" x 5"; backpacks, large purses, camera bags, and fanny packs are prohibited.

Max size: 12" x 6" x 12" clear bag, or 1-gallon clear freezer bag; clutch up to 7" x 5"

Backpacks are banned except fully clear ones; other soft-sided bags are allowed up to 16"x16"x8".

Max size: 16" x 16" x 8"

Only clear plastic/vinyl/PVC bags no larger than 12"x6"x12", one-gallon clear plastic freezer bags, or small non-clear clutch bags up to 4.5"x6.5" are permitted, and all bags are subject to search.

Max size: 12"x6"x12" (clear bags); 4.5"x6.5" (clutch bags); one-gallon clear freezer bag also accepted

One clear bag (a 12" x 6" x 12" tote or a 1-gallon clear plastic bag) plus one small clutch/purse up to 4.5" x 6.5" is allowed; backpacks, binocular cases, briefcases, camera cases, cinch bags, computer bags, fanny packs, large purses, mesh bags, and oversized totes are prohibited.

Max size: 12" x 6" x 12" clear tote, or 1-gallon clear plastic bag; clutch up to 4.5" x 6.5"

Bags of any type are allowed as long as they're under 22"x14"x9" — MSG doesn't require clear bags, unlike most major arenas.

Max size: 22"x14"x9"

Bags cannot exceed 12" x 6" x 12". Backpacks, briefcases, coolers, luggage, and oversized totes are not permitted; clear plastic bags, small purses, cinch bags, and camera bags are permitted subject to search. An older official page separately cites a 12" x 12" x 12" threshold, so the exact current limit is not fully consistent across official pages.

Max size: 12" x 6" x 12" (per current policy page)

Soft-sided bags no larger than 16"x16"x8" are permitted; hard-sided bags of any size are prohibited.

Max size: 16"x16"x8" (soft-sided)

No on-site bag check is available.

There's no bag-check facility at the ballpark, but third-party locker rentals are available near the gates for a fee.

There's no bag check or coat check at Madison Square Garden — plan to keep whatever you bring with you.

There is no bag storage or locker rental available at Yankee Stadium — non-compliant bags must be returned to your vehicle or left behind.

On-site parking at Barclays Center is extremely limited — the arena's own guidance leans on the eleven subway lines serving the building instead. Secondary sources put prepaid parking around $40, with alternative passes from about $25 and RV parking in Lot 10 at $65.

Fee: ~$40 prepaid (per secondary sources); $25+ alternative passes; $65 RV (Lot 10)

General public parking (Baird, Slee, Jacobs lots) is free on gamedays; premium lots (Stadium, Arena, Alumni B) require pre-approved hangtags tied to giving levels starting around $100.

Pre-paid parking is $40; drive-up (day-of) parking is $50. Parking is cashless — credit/debit, Mets Gift Cards, and mobile payment only.

Fee: $40 pre-pay / $50 drive-up

The Bills' own parking page confirms a Parking Code of Conduct and lot ingress/egress maps but no fetchable price table — all lots are prepaid only (no drive-up cash sales). Secondary sources put the standard individual-game parking pass around $45, though resale/market prices run considerably higher ($75-139+) for in-demand matchups.

Fee: ~$45 official individual-game pass (per secondary sources, unconfirmed officially); $75-139+ resale/market rates by opponent

Secondary sources describe day-of parking at the Comstock or Skytop lots with shuttle service included in the price, plus Dome West lots for smaller events; general lots farther out run around $35 — this wasn't independently confirmed from a first-party fetch for this entry.

Fee: ~$35 general lots (per secondary sources, unconfirmed officially); Comstock/Skytop price includes shuttle

Madison Square Garden has no on-site parking lot of its own — SpotHero is the official parking app for finding and booking nearby garage/lot spots ahead of time.

Per the most recently available official page, cars are $15 in advance or $20 on game day; a parking pass is included with a $150+ Army A Club donation, or $65 as a season pass for season-ticket holders otherwise. Free color-coded shuttle buses run from lots to the stadium.

Fee: $15 advance / $20 game-day (cars)

The Yankees don't operate parking directly — City Parking, the NYC-designated operator, runs four official garages/lots within a short walk of the Stadium (161st Street Garage, Gerard Avenue Lot, River Avenue Garage, Ruppert Plaza Garage), each $49 for self-park on a standard game day.

Fee: $49 self-park (standard); $325 bus

Exceptions for medical needs (and glass baby bottles) are made at the stadium's discretion.

Cannabis/marijuana may not be brought into Citi Field despite New York's state-level recreational legalization.

Cannabis/marijuana falls under the stadium's official ban on "illegal substances," which remains in force despite New York's state legalization of recreational cannabis.

Syracuse University's official institutional policy prohibits cannabis use, possession, distribution, edibles, and paraphernalia on all university property and at all campus events despite New York state legalization, because it remains illegal under federal law and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act.

Drones, model aircraft, kites, or any other remote-controlled or tethered flying objects are not permitted in the building or on Barclays Center property.

Drone operation requires an FAA-certified pilot with LAANC authorization or an FAA waiver, plus advance express consent from UB Athletics, Environmental Health & Safety, and University Police, since North Campus sits in FAA Class Controlled Airspace.

Drones are not permitted inside the ballpark, or in the parking lots, at any time.

Umbrellas are explicitly listed as a prohibited item.

Umbrellas of any shape or size are permitted.

Umbrellas are listed as a prohibited item at Highmark 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.

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

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

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.

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

Smoking and electronic smoking devices (vapes) are not permitted anywhere inside Barclays Center at any time, and the surrounding campus is also non-smoking.

Barclays Center enforces a strict no re-entry policy for all events.

Guests who exit Citi Field are not allowed to re-enter.

Re-entry to Highmark Stadium is prohibited; guests who leave may not re-enter using the same event ticket.

The stadium is fully cashless for concessions and the 50/50 raffle; a lightning-detection system with evacuation procedures is in place; the Fan Conduct code covers public intoxication, fighting, and field trespass.

Disorderly conduct, foul language, field interference, and verbally provocative or inflammatory clothing are grounds for ejection (and possible arrest); commercial audio/visual equipment, laser pointers, and fireworks are also banned.

Also prohibited: balloons, balls/bats/frisbees/sticks, laser pointers, confetti, camcorders/video recording equipment, and laptops/iPads/tablets; a free phone charging station is available at Guest Services (Section 107).
