California Memorial Stadium

Conditional. Clear bag no larger than 12" x 12" x 6", or a one-gallon resealable plastic bag, or a small clutch up to 4.5" x 6.5" is allowed; backpacks (including clear ones) and oversized bags are prohibited, and diaper bags are permitted subject to screening. Max size: 12" x 12" x 6" clear bag, or 1-gallon resealable bag, or 4.5" x 6.5" clutch.

Conditional. Soft plastic bottles (bottled water, soft drinks, no alcohol) are a permitted item; hard plastic bottles (e.g., Nalgene, bike bottles) and glass/metal bottles or cans are prohibited.

Conditional. Outside food and beverage are allowed for personal consumption if they comply with the prohibited-item policies; hard fruit or vegetables are only permitted if cut into pieces.

Conditional. Fans with medically necessary items or equipment that don't fit the bag policy are directed to a screening lane at the far left of each gate, where Public Safety personnel examine and approve the items.

Not Allowed. No outside alcohol of any kind is permitted; beer and wine are sold in-stadium with a wristband and valid ID required, limited to 2 drinks per transaction, cut off at the start of the 3rd quarter in general seating.

Not Allowed. The stadium's prohibited-items list bans illegal drugs generally; UC Berkeley's official cannabis policy confirms campus-wide prohibition despite California's Prop 64 legalization, since cannabis remains federally illegal, with smoking cannabis also barred under the UC Smoke and Tobacco Free Environment policy.

Not Allowed. Hard coolers are explicitly prohibited; soft-sided coolers are not separately addressed but would still need to satisfy the bag-size limits.

Conditional. Strollers are explicitly permitted (subject to the bag policy), and a free stroller-check service is offered at Lisa and Douglas Goldman Plaza; wagons are not mentioned on any official page.

Conditional. Dedicated lactation rooms are located on the West Concourse level; a breast pump carried in a bag would likely qualify under the general medical-needs screening exception, though breast pumps are not named explicitly as their own bag-policy item.

Allowed. The stadium is ADA accessible with elevators, accessible restrooms, wheelchair seating, and an ADA shuttle/golf cart service; Segways are carved out of the general Segway/bicycle ban for ADA use only.

Not Allowed. Skateboards, rollerblades, scooters, roller shoes, bicycles, tri-bikes, and Segways are all prohibited, except Segways for ADA use.

Conditional. Personal still cameras with a lens up to 6 inches are permitted; video cameras, monopods/tripods, and professional cameras are prohibited without a UC Berkeley licensing agreement. Max size: Camera lens: 6 inches maximum.

Not Allowed. UC Berkeley's campus-wide drone policy explicitly bans recreational drone flying near Memorial Stadium on football gamedays and during other significant stadium events.

Not Allowed. Umbrellas are not permitted inside California Memorial Stadium; items left at the gates are disposed of by stadium staff.

Not Allowed. Artificial noise-making devices are prohibited, and banners and signs of any kind are prohibited.

Conditional. Blankets and seat cushions up to 18 inches are permitted; personal seatbacks up to 14 inches wide are permitted, but metal seatbacks are prohibited. Max size: Seat cushions: up to 18"; seatbacks: up to 14" wide, no metal.

Not Allowed. Weapons are listed as a prohibited item; California's Gun-Free School Zone Act (Penal Code §626.9, as amended by AB 2609) prohibits bringing a firearm onto UC campus grounds without written permission of the university president or designee, with no concealed-carry exception for university campuses regardless of a CCW permit.

Not Allowed. The stadium is a fully non-smoking facility with no designated smoking areas; university policy prohibiting smoking in any campus facility explicitly extends to e-cigarettes and chewing/smokeless tobacco.

Conditional. No pets or animals are permitted, except guide, signal, and service dogs for guests who need assistance.

Not Allowed. Re-entry into Memorial Stadium is not permitted; no in-and-out privileges are allowed, with no exceptions.

Not Allowed. Also prohibited: balls and other projectiles, laser pointers, fireworks, balloons, illegal drugs, sticks/poles, and open containers; ticket resale/scalping is also barred.
