Outside alcohol, including non-alcoholic beer and wine, is not allowed, and neither are aerosol cans such as sunblock.
Cameras and electronics
Cameras and video equipment are allowed at MLB games if they do not obstruct anyone's view. The Giants can ask you to put them away, and commercial use of footage needs written permission. Drones are on the list of items not permitted. Federal law also bars drones within 3 nautical miles of the park around games. The pages do not mention camera lenses, tripods, laptops, tablets and power banks.

Non-electric skateboards and scooters are allowed if they fit under the seat, and riding them inside is prohibited.
Signs, flags and fan items
Banners, flags and signs have to be baseball-related, no taller than 3 feet, and not commercial, political, offensive or betting related. They cannot be affixed to the ballpark, block views, or be carried or displayed while the game is in progress. Flags with poles that were not sold in the Dugout Store are not permitted. Flags must also be no taller than 3 feet and baseball-related. The pages do not mention binoculars.
