Packaroni

Pennsylvania venues — what you can bring in

Packaroni tracks 165 verified policies across 8 venues in Pennsylvania — Pittsburgh, University Park, Philadelphia, Allentown, and 1 more. 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 Pennsylvania

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

  • All 8 restrict bags in some way — expect a size limit, a clear-bag rule, or both.
  • Outside water: 1 of the 8 bans it entirely and 7 allow it sealed or size-limited.
  • Outside food: 2 of the 8 ban it outright, 4 allow it with limits, and 2 allow it.
  • Coolers: 6 of the 8 ban them and 2 allow a limited cooler.
  • Bringing your own alcohol: 7 of the 8 prohibit it and 1 allows it conditionally.
  • Strollers and wagons: 3 of the 8 turn them away, 4 cap the size or ban wagons, and 1 welcomes them.
  • 8 of the 8 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.
