What the rules look like in Washington
The patterns that hold across stadium & arena venues here — the kind of comparison no single venue's website will give you.
- All 5 restrict bags in some way — expect a size limit, a clear-bag rule, or both.
- All 5 allow your own water, but with conditions — typically sealed, plastic, and under a set size.
- Outside food: 2 of the 5 ban it outright and 3 allow it with limits.
- Coolers are prohibited at all 5.
- Bringing your own alcohol: 4 of the 5 prohibit it and 1 allows it conditionally.
- Strollers and wagons: 1 of the 5 turns them away, 2 cap the size or ban wagons, and 2 welcome them.
- 4 of the 5 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.
