They are prohibited at concerts and special events unless the tour says otherwise, and glass is never allowed. Outside food and beverages are prohibited. Guests are welcome to bring baby food, snacks, formula and other supplies needed to feed a baby. Hard case containers, coolers included, are prohibited.

Personal point-and-shoot cameras are welcome. Cameras with telephoto or detachable lenses, lenses longer than 4 inches and external flashes are not, and neither is video recording on any device or live streaming. Interchangeable or detachable lenses, and cameras with lenses longer than four inches, are prohibited. Monopods, bipods, tripods and selfie sticks are prohibited.

Battery-operated, electric or chargeable apparel, including hand and neck fans, blankets, socks, coats and handwarmers, is prohibited.

Management can deny any electronic device or camera accessory, and cameras and recording rules vary for concerts and special events.

Guests are encouraged not to bring strollers. Larger strollers can be checked at the Guest Relations kiosks in the Grand Atrium, outside Section 120 and outside Section 375. Strollers are allowed in suites. Diaper bags and medical bags up to 14 x 14 x 6 inches are permitted after inspection. Guests with them use the VIP and ADA Door 1 at the Grand or East Atrium for x-ray screening, and the bags stay with you at your seat.

Large umbrellas, golf umbrellas and any umbrella with a pointed end are prohibited. Stadium seats with metal frames or attachments, and booster seats, are prohibited. Seat cushions and pads for medical needs are permitted. The pages do not mention blankets.

Signs, posters and banners cannot be larger than 22 x 28 inches or attached to a stick, pole or holding device. Concerts and special events can set their own limits. The only flags permitted are Nuggets, Avalanche and Mammoth flags bought from the Altitude Authentics team store, at those teams' games, plus other themed flags on theme nights. Flags cannot be on a stick or pole. The pages do not mention binoculars.

Diaper bags and medical bags up to 14 x 14 x 6 inches are permitted after inspection. Guests with them enter through the VIP and ADA Door 1 at the Grand or East Atrium for x-ray screening, and the bags have to stay with you at your seats. Nursing and baby-feeding supplies are welcome, and sensory bags are free at Guest Relations kiosks.

All permitted bags, jackets and guests are searched on entry and inside the arena. Ball Arena has a no re-entry policy for all events. Clothing or face paint that hides the whole head, tactical gear, and clothing that imitates officials or staff are prohibited.

Binbox lockers near the Infinity Sculpture and the Spires in the Grand Atrium plaza start at 15 dollars per bag, non-refundable, and take cards and mobile payment only. Bag check opens 30 minutes before general doors and closes an hour after the event, and bags are not reachable during it. The prohibited items page says there are no check-in areas or lockers, so the two pages disagree and the bag policy and FAQ pages describe the lockers.

The water bottle, tablet and flag rules differ between home games and concerts. The prohibited items page says bags, cameras, recording equipment and signs have varying policies for concerts and special events, so contact Guest Relations for yours.
