JMA Wireless Dome

Conditional. One clear bag (a 12" x 6" x 12" tote or a 1-gallon clear plastic bag) plus one small clutch/purse up to 4.5" x 6.5" is allowed; backpacks, binocular cases, briefcases, camera cases, cinch bags, computer bags, fanny packs, large purses, mesh bags, and oversized totes are prohibited. Max size: 12" x 6" x 12" clear tote, or 1-gallon clear plastic bag; clutch up to 4.5" x 6.5". Exceptions: Diaper bags permitted (with child) but strongly encouraged to be clear.

Not Allowed. Open bottled water is listed as a prohibited item on the Dome's official guest-services page, alongside food and beverage generally, with an exception for health or special reasons. Exceptions: Health/special-reason exception applies.

Not Allowed. Outside food and beverages are prohibited within all Syracuse Athletics venues, excluding items needed for health or special reasons.

Allowed. Medically necessary items are screened and admitted even if they don't fit clear-bag rules, and an alternate screening process is offered at metal detectors for guests with medical devices.

Not Allowed. Alcohol of any kind is a prohibited item to bring in; in-venue alcohol is sold to patrons 21+ with ID, capped at 2 beers per sale (1 for wristbanded students), with sales ending at halftime except at three named concession locations that serve through the end of the 3rd quarter during football.

Not Allowed. Syracuse University's official institutional policy prohibits cannabis use, possession, distribution, edibles, and paraphernalia on all university property and at all campus events despite New York state legalization, because it remains illegal under federal law and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act.

Not Allowed. Coolers, including small soft-sided coolers, are explicitly prohibited.

Not Allowed. Baby strollers are explicitly listed as a prohibited item at the JMA Wireless Dome, with no stroller check-in service offered; wagons are not addressed at all.

Allowed. Two dedicated Nursing Mothers Rooms are located at Sections 104 and 119, accessed via escort from Guest Services (Section 107).

Allowed. Wheelchairs and mobility devices are accommodated with accessible entry at Gates A, C, G, M, and N, where event staff assist with screening and seating.

Not Allowed. Skateboards and recreational scooters are explicitly listed as prohibited items.

Conditional. Personal cameras are permitted; professional cameras with lenses 6 inches or longer and tripods are prohibited without a media credential, and GoPros, selfie sticks, and video recording equipment are prohibited outright. Max size: Camera lens: under 6 inches without a media credential.

Not Allowed. Drones and unmanned aircraft systems are a listed prohibited stadium item; university-wide policy separately bars recreational drone use anywhere on Syracuse property, permitting only pre-approved university-business flights.

Conditional. Small personal umbrellas are permitted, but large umbrellas with a plastic or metal tip are not permitted — a security-driven restriction rather than a weather-driven one, since the Dome is fully enclosed.

Conditional. Artificial noise makers, amplified devices, fog/air horns, bull horns, and whistles are prohibited; hand-held banners/signs are allowed if in good taste, without profanity, not blocking views or signage, and without sticks or poles.

Not Allowed. Outside chairs are explicitly prohibited; blankets are not addressed in any official source found.

Not Allowed. Weapons of any kind, including pocket knives, are prohibited at all venues, with metal detectors at all Dome gates; New York Penal Law separately criminalizes knowing possession of a firearm on the grounds of any school, public or private, without written institutional authorization, reinforcing Syracuse's own ban regardless of any state concealed-carry allowance elsewhere.

Not Allowed. The Dome and Syracuse campus are smoke- and tobacco-free, including e-cigarettes and vapes, inside and outside all buildings and in all parking lots and garages.

Not Allowed. Body and face paint is explicitly listed as a prohibited item; costumes and masks specifically are not addressed on any official page found.

Conditional. Certified service animals are welcome at all venues; all other animals must be approved by Dome or event management and are generally not admitted.

Not Allowed. The JMA Wireless Dome enforces a no re-entry policy, stated explicitly and unconditionally.

Not Allowed. Also prohibited: balloons, balls/bats/frisbees/sticks, laser pointers, confetti, camcorders/video recording equipment, and laptops/iPads/tablets; a free phone charging station is available at Guest Services (Section 107).
