Busch Stadium

Conditional. Bags, purses, and soft-sided coolers up to 10" x 8" x 10" are allowed; backpacks and hard-sided bags are not. Small purses, clutches/wristlets, fanny packs, or other single-pouch bags up to 8" x 10" are also permitted. Backpacks of any kind are prohibited. All bags enter via designated Inspection Lanes and are subject to search. Max size: 10" x 8" x 10" (bags/soft coolers); 8" x 10" (small purses/fanny packs). Exceptions: Medical bags and diaper bags accompanying a child are exempt from size limits.

Conditional. Sealed factory-bottled water/non-alcoholic beverages up to 2 liters are allowed, as are empty bottles, cups, mugs, or tumblers. Non-factory-sealed bottles larger than 2 liters and thermoses are prohibited. Max quantity: 2 liters (sealed) per container.

Allowed. Outside food is permitted throughout the ballpark except in Luxury Suites. Outside food and beverages (non-alcoholic, factory-sealed) are allowed; this is more permissive than many NFL venues. Exceptions: Not permitted in Luxury Suites.

Allowed. Medical bags are explicitly exempted from the standard bag-size restrictions.

Not Allowed. Outside alcoholic beverages and non-alcoholic beer are prohibited; alcohol must be purchased inside. Flasks are also explicitly listed as a prohibited item.

Not Allowed. Cannabis falls under the ballpark's ban on illegal substances, and smoking/vaping of any kind is restricted to the designated Gate 1 area only. The official prohibited-items list bars 'illegal substances' generally rather than naming cannabis specifically; Missouri's legal status for recreational use does not override the venue's own smoking/substance restrictions.

Conditional. Only small soft-sided coolers within the 10" x 8" x 10" bag-size limit are allowed; hard-sided and Styrofoam coolers are banned. Max size: 10" x 8" x 10".

Conditional. Strollers are allowed but must not block aisles or entryways; the team asks fans to stow them under a seat or check them at Guest Relations. No official Cardinals statement specifically addressing wagons was found.

Allowed. Busch Stadium has a dedicated Nursing Mothers Room with multiple curtained stations in the Family Pavilion near Section 129. Additional nursing/family spaces are available at Sections 160 and 348 and at First Aid; the room is open to any guest needing a private space to nurse, pump, or feed an infant.

Allowed. Wheelchair-accessible seating is available on every level and price tier, with elevators, ramps, and ADA-compliant facilities throughout. Transportation carts or wheelchairs (subject to availability) can pick up guests at entrances and escort them to their seats; companion seating may be purchased adjacent to accessible seats.

Not Allowed. Hoverboards, skateboards, roller skates, and roller blades are prohibited.

Conditional. Personal cameras are allowed, but commercial equipment with lenses longer than the camera body, plus tripods, monopods, and video cameras, is prohibited. Max size: Lens must not exceed the length of the camera body.

Not Allowed. Drones are a prohibited item at Busch Stadium.

Conditional. Umbrellas are allowed for sun or rain, but the team asks fans to avoid blocking other guests' views.

Not Allowed. Air horns, cowbells, Thunderstix, and other noisemakers are banned, as are flag poles and PVC pipes. Signage, posters, or displays deemed inappropriate, political, or offensive by security may also be prohibited.

Conditional. Chairs, stools, and bleacher seats with backs are prohibited; blankets are not addressed on the official prohibited-items list. No explicit official statement on blankets was found; their absence from the published prohibited-items list suggests they are permitted, but this is not a confirmed affirmative statement.

Not Allowed. Firearms, knives longer than 4 inches, stun guns, fireworks, and weapons of any kind are prohibited. Max size: Knives up to 4 inches only.

Conditional. Smoking and vaping are prohibited stadium-wide except in a designated, covered smoking area near Gate 1. Guests can exit to the Gate 1 smoking area without going through a full re-entry security screening. Exceptions: Designated smoking area at Gate 1.

Not Allowed. Face paint and costume masks that cover the head or face are prohibited items.

Conditional. Animals are prohibited except service dogs or other service animals trained to perform tasks for a person with a disability. Exceptions: Trained service animals are permitted.

Conditional. Re-entry is allowed with a hand stamp obtained at Gate 1 or Gate 4, until 90 minutes after the scheduled first pitch. Returning guests must bring their ticket and pass through bag inspection and metal detection again. Exceptions: Cutoff is 90 minutes after first pitch.

Not Allowed. Additional prohibited items include balloons, beach balls and other inflatables, aerosol cans, brooms, illegal substances, and laser pointers.
