Exceptions are made for medical bags and diaper bags with a child. Strollers are welcome if they do not interfere with other guests or block entryways or aisles. Store them under your seat or check them at Guest Relations. Management can make other exceptions at its discretion.

Umbrellas are allowed inside when rain is forecast and on hot days, as long as they do not block the view of other guests. The pages do not mention seat cushions or blankets. Chairs and stools, bleacher seats with backs included, are prohibited.

Banners may be displayed if they do not block play or other guests' views, stay out of fair territory and are baseball-oriented, not commercial or political. They cannot be paraded around the stadium or hung over the field level boxes, and the Cardinals can remove any banner, sign or flag. Flag poles, PVC pipe and other poles are prohibited. The pages do not mention binoculars.

Exceptions are made for medical bags and diaper bags with a child. Management and event staff can make other exceptions at their discretion.
