L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium

Conditional. One clear plastic/vinyl/PVC bag no larger than 12" x 6" x 12" (or a 1-gallon clear Ziploc-style bag), plus one small clutch, is allowed per person; purses and wallets cannot be placed inside the clear bag. Max size: 12" x 6" x 12" clear bag or 1-gallon clear Ziploc-style bag; clutch up to 4.5" x 6.5". Exceptions: Medically necessary items/diaper bags allowed after inspection at a designated gate; $10 bag-check tent available near Gate 2A.

Not Allowed. Outside glass or plastic bottles, cans, and beverages of any kind are prohibited; water fountains are on the concourses and free ice/water cups are offered at concessions when open.

Not Allowed. Outside food is a listed prohibited item; concessions are sold inside the stadium.

Conditional. Bags containing medically necessary items are exempt from the standard clear-bag size/type rule but must be inspected and tagged at a designated gate.

Not Allowed. Outside alcohol is prohibited and bringing it in or taking it out can lead to removal or arrest; alcohol is sold inside from gates-open until the end of the 3rd quarter, limited to two drinks per purchase, 21+ with ID required from every buyer. Exceptions: Sections 104 and 204 are designated alcohol-free zones.

Not Allowed. Falls under the general "illegal drugs or chemicals" prohibited-item clause; the university's Code of Student Conduct separately bans marijuana possession campus-wide even for Kentucky medical-cannabis cardholders, since it remains a federal Schedule I substance.

Not Allowed. Coolers are explicitly listed as a prohibited item.

Not Allowed. L&N Stadium does not allow guests to bring strollers into the stadium.

Allowed. Curtained lactation/breastfeeding areas are provided at the Customer Relations Booths (Sections 108, 120, 132), and diaper-changing stations are located in restrooms.

Allowed. Accessible seating with up to 3 companion seats, wheelchair storage/valet at gates, a dedicated Fan Assistance wheelchair-escort service, and Accessible Shuttle golf carts from the Bronze/Purple lots are all provided.

Not Allowed. Skateboards, roller blades/skates/shoes, and hoverboards are explicitly prohibited.

Conditional. Only handheld, non-professional-grade still cameras that fit in a purse or the palm of a hand are allowed; any camera with a detachable lens or any video equipment is denied entry.

Not Allowed. UofL Athletics prohibits the use of drones in or around all UofL athletic facilities and parking lots without written permission from both Athletics and the FAA.

Not Allowed. Umbrellas are explicitly listed as a prohibited item.

Conditional. Artificial noisemakers (air horns, whistles) are banned outright, and flags of any size are prohibited entirely; banners/signs are allowed if non-commercial and non-offensive and don't obstruct views, but affixing one to a railing or wall needs prior permission and management can confiscate any sign for any reason.

Not Allowed. Deadly weapons of any kind are prohibited on any UofL-owned or controlled property, including athletics facilities, under the university's official weapons policy, which is grounded in Kentucky's KRS 237.115 — the same statutory basis already documented for Kentucky Wildcats' Kroger Field. Exceptions: Narrow exceptions exist only for specifically authorized persons under KRS 527.020 (e.g., Commonwealth's attorneys, judges, elected sheriffs) and for locked firearms in private vehicles; exception-holders must check in at Gate 1E or Gate 8.

Not Allowed. UofL is a tobacco-free campus; the policy bans cigarettes, e-cigarettes/vaporizers, cigars, pipes, smokeless tobacco, and hookahs everywhere on campus, extending to within 50 feet of any exterior stadium gate, with no designated smoking areas.

Conditional. No pets or animals are allowed except service animals (e.g., guide dogs); therapy animals are explicitly excluded.

Not Allowed. A strict no re-entry policy is enforced — anyone leaving during an event needs a new ticket to return.
