Alumni Stadium

Conditional. Clear plastic bag no larger than 12" x 12" x 6", or a one-gallon clear zip bag up to 11" x 11", or a small clutch/wristlet/wallet up to 8" x 5" x 2" is allowed; Student Gold Pass holders may not bring any bag at all. Max size: 12" x 12" x 6" clear bag, or 11" x 11" clear zip bag, or 8" x 5" x 2" clutch. Exceptions: Medically necessary oversized bags/equipment allowed with an advance letter of approval (email athoper@bc.edu); diaper bags allowed if accompanied by a child. Free bag check available at Fish Field House.

Not Allowed. No separate water exception is stated; outside beverages fall under the general no-outside-food-or-drink rule.

Not Allowed. No outside food and/or beverages are permitted inside Alumni Stadium; concession stands and carts are located throughout.

Conditional. Coolers are allowed if containing medical supplies, and bags too large for the clear-bag policy get an exception with an advance letter of approval from BC Athletics facilities operations.

Conditional. Alcohol may not be brought into the stadium bowl; beer and wine are sold at concessions with a 2-drink max per ID and mandatory carding regardless of age. In the paid Lower Lawn Tent Village premium tailgate, guests may bring their own beer or wine if stored in a checked cooler.

Not Allowed. Not explicitly named on any official page, but inferable from the strict no-outside-alcohol policy and campus-wide smoke/vape-free policy, which by its plain terms bans smoking any plant product on BC's private property despite Massachusetts having legalized recreational marijuana statewide.

Not Allowed. Coolers are prohibited inside the stadium unless containing medical supplies; coolers are separately permitted for the paid Lower Lawn Tent Village tailgate. Exceptions: Coolers containing medical supplies are allowed.

Allowed. Accessible and companion seating is available, along with dedicated ADA parking and an ADA shuttle for non-season-ticket holders with curbside drop-off at Gate A.

Conditional. Still cameras that do not obstruct views are permitted, but cameras with lenses over 4 inches or detachable lenses are not; audio/video recording equipment and GoPro cameras are prohibited outright. Max size: Camera lens: 4 inches maximum.

Not Allowed. Drones and GoPros are explicitly listed under prohibited items.

Not Allowed. Use of umbrellas is not permitted in Alumni Stadium.

Conditional. Artificial noisemakers are prohibited outright; signage deemed inappropriate by event staff is barred, and signs/banners/flags may not be hung or attached anywhere or obstruct other guests' views.

Conditional. Folding chairs are prohibited, as are heated clothing and heated blankets; ordinary (non-heated) blankets are not otherwise banned.

Not Allowed. Weapons of any description are prohibited, and all guests pass through an Evolv weapons-detection system at entry; Massachusetts law requires written institutional authorization for anyone to carry a firearm on college grounds, and Boston College, as a private university, has published no such authorization, resulting in a total ban.

Not Allowed. Smoking is prohibited in and around Alumni Stadium; Boston College's campus-wide policy bans smoking, vaping, and any tobacco or plant product across all BC campuses, buildings, grounds, and vehicles, explicitly including athletic venues.

Conditional. All animals are prohibited except service animals assisting guests with disabilities, which should be wearing their service vest upon entry.

Not Allowed. Re-entry is not permitted into Alumni Stadium.
