Going to cheer on the Royals? Here’s what you can and can’t bring into The K
There’s a lot of excitement in the air for the Kansas City Royals this season. The No. 1 prospect in MLB, Bobby Witt Jr., is on the opening day roster, and Zack Greinke’s back with the team he won his first Cy Young award with.
Restrictions can change at any time, but here’s a guide for what is and isn’t allowed inside the stadium this season.
WHAT’S THE BAG POLICY?
Each fan is allowed to carry one clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bag. The bag can’t be any larger than 12 inches by 12 inches by 6 inches.
Fans can also carry a one-gallon clear plastic freezer bag — a Ziploc bag or something similar — and a small clutch bag no larger than 9 inches by 5 inches, which is subject to search. Exceptions can be made for medical reasons or diaper bags that are with infants and toddlers.
Backpacks are not allowed.
FOOD AND DRINKS. WHAT CAN YOU BRING?
You aren’t allowed to bring hard-sided coolers, alcohol and other non-clear liquid containers including reusable water bottles inside Kauffman Stadium. You can bring food that resembles individual portions in a clear, plastic bag that’s no larger than one gallon. You can also bring in water bottles, but it has to be a plastic bottle that’s one liter or smaller and unopened.
Soft-sided single juice, milk containers or ADA-required liquids may be allowed in as well. Sports drinks, such as Gatorade, are also allowed as long as it follows the same requirements for water bottles.
WHAT ELSE ISN’T ALLOWED?
The following items are prohibited from being inside Kauffman Stadium at all times:
Aerosol cans
Banners or flags with sticks in them
Baseball bats
Beach balls and other inflatable items
Bullhorns and other noisemakers that are deemed unacceptable by Kauffman Stadium staff, like cowbells
Brooms that are taller than four feet
Cameras with lenses that are larger than 12 inches
Items that could be projectiles, such as toys
Lasers and laser pens
Pets or other animals that aren’t there for service purposes
Unmanned aerial vehicles
Weapons and fireworks—this includes all guns and knives
Wrapped presents
Stadium staff will ask you to put these items back in your car or throw them away.
