General-admission parking is free, with the cost bundled into a ticket "convenience fee" (free outright for season-ticket holders); premium lots require a paid donor/digital pass; no overnight parking.

The Reds' parking pages weren't fetchable at the URLs tried — secondary sources name specific lots and rates: Central Riverfront Garage at $20 (east side) / $15 (west side), East Garage at $10, Broadway Ave Lot at $20, and Western Lots B/D at $10, sold first-come-first-served.

Fee: $10-20 by lot (per secondary sources, unconfirmed officially)

Fee: $30 single-day (per secondary sources, unconfirmed officially); $40 preferred

UC's own gameday guide confirms accessible parking in Woodside Garage is $25 (credit/debit card only) — general cash parking at the Eden, Stratford, and Woodside garages is reported at $20 on gameday or $15 in advance online (space-available, first-come-first-served), attributed to the official UC Athletics site but not independently re-fetched for this entry.

Day-of-game (non-season-permit) parking is tiered by location: Premier locations are $60/vehicle, Proximity locations (Neil Ave. Garage, Arps Garage) are $40/vehicle, and Non-Proximity locations are $30/vehicle.

Fee: $60 Premier / $40 Proximity / $30 Non-Proximity (day-of-game); $30 Disability parking

The Bengals' own site directs fans to SpotHero for advance parking rather than publishing a flat rate — secondary sources report individual-game listings ranging from about $14-27, with one cost-of-attendance analysis citing a $56 average that likely reflects higher-demand games and resale pricing.

Fee: $14-27 typical listings (per secondary sources); ~$56 average per one cost analysis, likely skewed by high-demand games

The Guardians' own parking page returned no fetchable pricing content — secondary sources put typical parking at $10-25/game, with prices often easing as first pitch approaches; rates can spike well above that for high-demand games like the home opener.

Fee: $10-25 typical (per secondary sources, unconfirmed officially); spikes for high-demand games

Sealed, unopened bottled water is allowed into the park; other outside beverages are not.

Alcohol is sold at concession stands on both concourses (expanded for 2026); outside alcohol is prohibited and may not be carried in or out of the stadium.

Alcohol is a prohibited item to bring in; the university expanded beer sales to general seating starting in 2017, though no current official page independently confirms present-season concourse sales.

Alcoholic beverages may not be brought into Yager Stadium; guests with outside alcohol, or who are intoxicated, may be ejected and have alcohol confiscated. Alcohol is sold inside, including at the 'Swine City Beer Garden' on the south concourse.

Outside alcoholic beverages are not permitted.

No outside alcoholic beverages of any kind may be brought into Progressive Field.

Cannabis, recreational or medical, is prohibited on all Ohio University property and at university-sponsored activities regardless of Ohio's state legalization, citing federal Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act compliance.

The university's Smoke-Free and Tobacco-Free Policy explicitly names cannabis products, joints, and edibles as prohibited, with the ban extending to athletic and recreational facilities.

Cannabis is not permitted; the ballpark's prohibited-items list bans "illegal substances or similar paraphernalia," and Great American Ball Park is designated a completely non-smoking facility under Ohio law.

Cannabis/marijuana falls under the stadium's general ban on "illegal substances" and its no-smoking/no-vaping rules, which remain in force despite Ohio's legalization of recreational cannabis for adults.

Marijuana, including medical marijuana legal under Ohio law, remains prohibited on all university-owned, operated, or leased property because federal law supersedes state law for federally funded institutions.

Paycor Stadium is a marijuana-free facility; marijuana and related paraphernalia are prohibited in any form.

Cannabis is not addressed by name, but falls under the team's blanket ban: "No alcohol or illegal drugs may be brought into the gates."

Guests may bring their own stroller or wagon, or rent one at the park ($17 single / $22 double).

Fee: $17 single stroller / $22 double stroller rental

Baby strollers are explicitly listed as prohibited, a longstanding but unusual rule confirmed consistently across multiple official pages; wagons are not addressed.

Strollers are permitted inside the stadium but must be parked in the grass area along the fence in the south end zone; wagons are not addressed.

Strollers are explicitly listed as a prohibited item on both official prohibited-items pages, with no stated exception.

Strollers and infant carriers are prohibited inside the stadium bowl but can be checked at the Guest Services office (west stands, Room 122) for pickup after the game.

Strollers are allowed but must not block aisles or be placed under seats; stroller corrals are available.

Strollers are not permitted inside the stadium.

Double strollers can be rented in the park ($22 + processing fee); the official site doesn't separately state a policy on bringing your own.

Fee: $22 + up to $9.99 processing fee (rental)

Strollers are listed as a prohibited item; no official wagon-specific rule was found.

Strollers and car-seat type baby carriers are not permitted into Ohio Stadium; wagons are not listed as permitted either.

Strollers are listed as a prohibited item; wagons are not addressed in official policy.

Strollers are permitted; fold-up strollers must be stored under the seat, and non-folding strollers must be checked at a gate or Fan Services location.

Cedar Point provides nursing mothers' rooms where guests can breastfeed or pump; two family care centers are reported, one open until an hour after close.

Great American Ball Park has two nursing suites with private areas for moms and babies to breastfeed.

Nursing bags are permitted after inspection at the medical exception entrances, and private nursing rooms are available inside the stadium.

Lactation rooms are available at multiple stadium locations, and baby-changing stations are in all restrooms, all ADA accessible.

Breast pumps and nursing/childcare supplies (diapers, formula/breastmilk, baby food, ice packs, baby bottles) are permitted via the childcare-needs bag exception, and a dedicated Nursing Mother's Room is available in the stadium.

Nursing mothers may bring pumping equipment by notifying security personnel at the ticket gate.

Wheelchairs and ECVs are welcome; guests may bring their own or rent one ($26 manual / $70 ECV, 400lb weight limit).

Fee: $26 manual wheelchair / $70 ECV rental

ADA seating is available in multiple locations (behind the visitor bench, the NW corner near Phelan Lounge, and the top of west sections via elevator), with ADA-compliant restrooms at all four corners and a wheelchair-seating request process.

Accessible seating is provided in multiple sections; accessible/ADA parking is designated in Lot 10 (new for 2026), with golf-cart shuttle service to the stadium.

Wheelchairs and scooters are accommodated via a wheelchair-assist service at the Fan Services Tent, ticket exchange for ADA/limited-mobility seating, and mapped accessible restrooms and parking.

Accessible seating is available on the East Stands and West sideline, with wheelchair-seat ticket exchanges arranged in advance through the Ticket Office; 2024 renovations added lower concession/merchandise/ticket counters and wider, smoother ramps on the west side.

Great American Ball Park is fully accessible, with accessible seating available throughout the seating bowl.

Manual and power-driven wheelchairs, as well as three- or four-wheeled mobility scooters, are permitted inside the stadium.

Roller skates, scooters, and bicycles are not permitted.

Hoverboards and skateboards are explicitly prohibited.

Hoverboards, skateboards, and bicycles are explicitly listed as prohibited items.

Skateboards and hoverboards are explicitly prohibited.

Hoverboards are listed as a prohibited item at Great American Ball Park.

Segways, motorized scooters, skateboards, roller blades, and bicycles are prohibited from being brought into Ohio Stadium.

Segways and motorized scooters are prohibited (mobility devices for guests with disabilities remain permitted).

Action sports equipment — including skateboards, roller blades, scooters, and roller skates — is not permitted.

Cameras are fine to carry around; most rides only allow a securely head-strapped glasses camera, and phones/GoPros/action cameras must be lockered on the strict loose-article coasters.

Cameras are permitted for personal use so long as photography does not interfere with other guests; commercial video/audio equipment and tripods are prohibited, and the current clear-bag policy no longer allows camera bags as a bag type.

Cameras and video cameras are permitted; no explicit lens/tripod restriction is published for Doyt Perry Stadium. Footage may not be reproduced for commercial use (including social media) without BGSU Athletics' written consent.

Commercial video/audio equipment and tripods are prohibited; personal handheld cameras and phones are not listed as prohibited.

Point-and-shoot cameras are permitted; commercial video/audio equipment, tripods, selfie sticks, and camera lenses larger than 100mm are prohibited.

Max size: Lens under 100mm

Small handheld cameras are permitted and commercial video/audio equipment is banned per the permitted-items list, but a separate clause on the same official page states recording devices of any kind are strictly prohibited — a genuine internal contradiction on Toledo's own site, not resolved here in either direction.

Personal still cameras are permitted within the standard 16"x16"x8" bag limit; tripods, monopods, and selfie sticks are prohibited.

Max size: 16" x 16" x 8" (if carried in a bag)

Personal cameras and video cameras/camcorders are allowed for Browns games as long as they don't interfere with other fans, but commercial audio/video recording equipment, including tripods, is prohibited.

Cameras/phones are allowed in the park, but on-ride photography/video is prohibited on almost every ride (exceptions: Eiffel Tower, the KI & Miami Valley Railroad).

Cameras and video equipment are allowed, but flashes, lights, tripods, and monopods are prohibited; separate camera bags/cases are barred under the clear-bag policy.

Still cameras with a lens 100mm or less are permitted; cameras with larger lenses, monopods, dual pods, tripods, and any audio/video recording equipment are prohibited.

Max size: Lens must be 100mm or less

Personal cameras with lenses up to 6 inches are allowed; larger lenses, video cameras, recording equipment, tripods and monopods are prohibited.

Max size: Lens up to 6 inches

Cameras with lenses under 100mm are allowed, but tripods, monopods, and telephoto lenses (100mm or larger) are not.

Max size: Lenses under 100mm

All drones are prohibited at all Cedar Fair/Six Flags parks including Cedar Point; unauthorized drones are reported to the FAA and local law enforcement.

All UAS operations require Public Safety/UAS Review Committee pre-approval submitted at least two weeks in advance and must stay 200 feet from any building or structure; operators are directed not to fly near stadiums or sporting events.

Fireworks, aerosol cans, and (per general BGSU athletics venue policy) unauthorized flying devices are not permitted; drones specifically are covered under the same not-permitted device category at BGSU athletics venues.

Drones are explicitly listed as a prohibited item at Yager Stadium.

Drones (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) are prohibited, per FAA Temporary Flight Restrictions and FAA drone regulations.

Drones are explicitly listed as a prohibited item at the stadium.

All drones are prohibited at all Cedar Fair/Six Flags parks including Kings Island; unauthorized drones observed over the park are reported to the FAA.

Drones and other unmanned aircraft are barred within a 3-nautical-mile radius and below 3,000 feet of any stadium seating 30,000 or more for an NCAA Division I football game, from 1 hour before to 1 hour after the event, per FAA regulation.

Drones and unmanned aircraft systems are strictly prohibited; the FAA imposes a Temporary Flight Restriction over Ohio Stadium during games.

Drones and remote-controlled aircraft are prohibited.

Guests may use umbrellas in the seating areas provided they do not interfere with other guests' sightlines.

Umbrellas are permitted inside the stadium, listed as an item subject to inspection along with other rain gear.

Umbrellas are explicitly prohibited on both official prohibited-items pages.

Umbrellas are explicitly listed as a prohibited item; rain ponchos are permitted instead.

Rain gear and umbrellas are explicitly permitted.

Umbrellas are not permitted inside the stadium for safety and line-of-sight reasons.

Umbrellas are explicitly listed as a prohibited item.

Umbrellas may be carried into Ohio Stadium for use before and after the game, but may not be opened in the seating areas.

Umbrellas are prohibited inside the stadium.

Personal-sized umbrellas (roughly 24"-30" span, covering one person) are allowed, but may only be opened during a rain delay when the tarp is covering the field.

Max size: ~24"-30" span (personal size)

Banners, signs, and flags are prohibited, as are amplified noisemakers (bullhorns, air horns) and musical instruments; non-amplified noisemakers such as cowbells, thundersticks, and vuvuzela horns are explicitly permitted.

Amplified sound, including in Tailgate Park, requires advance approval from BGSU Athletics/Falcon Sports Properties. Banners must be pre-approved by 5 p.m. the day before the game; flags on poles are not permitted inside the stadium.

Noisemakers are prohibited outright and flags/banners are stated as not allowed on the facilities prohibited-items page, while a separate same-dated Admission Policy page instead bans only amplified noisemakers and treats signs/flags/banners as subject to approval — a genuine conflict between two official pages, resolved here by using the stricter facilities-page reading.

Amplified/musical noisemakers are prohibited, but non-amplified noisemakers such as cowbells, thundersticks, and vuvuzelas are permitted; banners, signs, and flags are prohibited.

Artificial noisemakers, confetti, laser pointers, and large flags are prohibited; a separate "Banner Policy" clause allows banners in good taste that don't cover existing signage, but the same paragraph then states flags, banners, and poles are not allowed in the seating areas — a contradiction on the venue's own official page, recorded rather than resolved.

Noisemakers such as thundersticks, air horns, whistles, and clappers are prohibited (hand-held cowbells are permitted); baseball-themed signs/banners are allowed if they don't obstruct views or contain commercial, political, or derogatory content.

Banners and signs are permitted if they meet content/size guidelines, but noisemaking devices (air horns, bells, bullhorns, thundersticks, whistles) are prohibited.

Noisemakers, air horns, and other compressed-gas devices are prohibited outright; flags are permitted only without poles.

Noisemaking devices (air horns, bullhorns, whistles, cowbells, etc.), as well as banners, flags, posters, and signs, are prohibited.

Noisemakers and confetti are prohibited.

Banners and signs are allowed under content/placement restrictions, but noisemaking devices (air horns, cowbells, whistles, bugles, bats) are banned.

Blankets and seat cushions without attached bags are permitted, subject to inspection; lawn chairs are explicitly not permitted.

Seat backs and seat cushions are subject to approval; blankets are not mentioned on either official prohibited-items list.

Blankets are permitted if unrolled/un-bagged. Stadium chairbacks may be rented for $7/game or $25/season, or brought from home.

Fee: $7/game or $25/season chairback rental

Blankets and chair backs no larger than a single seat are explicitly permitted.

Max size: Chair backs: no larger than a single seat

Blankets are permitted (guests may be asked to shake them out at the security checkpoint), but seat cushions are prohibited.

Blankets are permitted; seat cushions are permitted up to 18 inches, with no freestanding stadium chairs addressed.

Max size: Seat cushions: max 18 inches

Folding chairs, portable chairs, stools, and lawn chairs are prohibited, but unrolled/unbagged blankets and foam seat cushions (without back support, zippers, or storage) are permitted.

Max size: Seatbacks: 16in wide max (with doctor's note)

Chairs are prohibited, but fans may carry blankets by draping them over a shoulder.

Blankets are explicitly permitted.

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

Weapons, including pepper spray and knives/blades of any length, are explicitly prohibited. Ohio law permits open carry of firearms generally on public university property and lets each public university's Board of Trustees opt in to campus carry; Kent State's Board did not opt in, and Policy 5-22 affirmatively prohibits possession of deadly weapons inside any university building or facility for everyone, including visitors — the same declined-to-opt-in pattern already confirmed at Cincinnati, Toledo, and Ohio University.

BGSU has not opted in to Ohio's public-university concealed-carry allowance — concealed carry remains prohibited on BGSU property, firearms are barred from all campus buildings, and open carry by students/employees is also barred, per BGSU's own Ohio Administrative Code rule and its Police Department's Campus Carry Q&A. This matches the same declined-to-opt-in pattern already confirmed at Cincinnati, Toledo, Ohio University, Kent State, and Miami (OH). The stadium guide separately lists weapons of any kind (including pipes and chains) and pepper spray as not-permitted items.

Weapons, including pepper spray and knives/blades of any length, are prohibited stadium-wide. Ohio law (Ohio Rev. Code 2923.126) prohibits concealed carry on educational campuses unless the weapon is locked in a vehicle, and Ohio University's Board of Trustees has never voted to opt in to the discretionary campus-carry allowance state law gave trustees in 2016 — the same pattern already found at Cincinnati and Toledo, both public Ohio universities that also declined to opt in.

Miami University has explicitly declined to opt in to Ohio's HB48 concealed-carry allowance ('Miami University does not permit the carrying of concealed weapons on campus and no changes are being considered'), matching the same declined-to-opt-in pattern already confirmed at Cincinnati, Toledo, Ohio University, and Kent State. The athletics-specific gameday policy separately bans weapons including pepper spray and knives/blades of any length at Yager Stadium — a stricter rule than the general campus weapons policy, which allows pepper spray campus-wide.

Weapons of any kind are prohibited under the Rocket Rule of Conduct; the University of Toledo's own Board-adopted rule (Ohio Admin. Code 3364-61-03) applies to all university buildings, venues, and parking, citing Ohio Rev. Code 2923.11, and a valid Ohio concealed-carry permit is not an exemption — Toledo chose to remain a gun-free zone even after Ohio law gave trustees discretion to allow campus carry.

Firearms and other deadly weapons are prohibited, including for guests with a concealed-carry license.

Weapons of any kind are strictly prohibited, including firearms, knives, mace/pepper spray, and sticks, poles, bats, or clubs.

Firearms, ammunition, knives, weapons of any kind, and self-defense items like pepper spray/mace are banned park-wide.

Knives, guns, explosives, and fireworks are explicitly prohibited stadium-wide; the University of Cincinnati has not opted in to Ohio's law (Ohio HB 48) allowing schools to permit concealed carry, so campus/venue policy continues to bar concealed handguns outright.

Weapons, firearms, and items that mimic weapons are strictly prohibited; possession results in immediate confiscation, ejection, and/or arrest.

Weapons, fireworks, flammable objects, mace/pepper spray, and items like sticks, bats, poles, clubs, and selfie sticks are prohibited.

All weapons are prohibited, including knives of any size and firearms — this ban extends even to individuals with a concealed carry permit.

Smoking/vaping (including e-cigarettes) aren't permitted inside the park; designated smoking areas exist just outside each entrance gate.

Smoking is prohibited in all areas within the gates of Dix Stadium; vaping is not separately named in any official source found, though it would likely fall under the same restriction.

BGSU is a smoke-free campus; smoking is confined to a single designated corral outside Gate 2. BGSU's campus-wide Clean Air & Smoking Policy explicitly limits both smoking and e-cigarette/vaping use to designated areas.

Use of tobacco products and e-cigarettes within the stadium is prohibited.

Miami University is a smoke- and tobacco-free campus, covering cigarettes, e-cigarettes/vaporizers, cigars, pipes, and chewing tobacco, in all buildings, grounds, and parking lots including athletic facilities; tobacco products are separately listed as a stadium prohibited item.
