PNC Park Entry Rules: Bags, Water, Food, Cameras and Gear

Bottled water is allowed if the bottle is clear, plastic, sealed, disposable and no more than 24 ounces. Sports drinks, carbonated drinks, cans, glass bottles and thermoses are not allowed. Guests are permitted to bring food into the ballpark. Outside food and drink is not allowed into the Home Plate Club, the Suite Level or the Left Field Lounge. The guide does not mention coolers. It bans hard-sided bags and any bag larger than 16 x 16 x 8 inches, so a hard-sided cooler would not get in.

Cameras and video recorders are welcome for personal use only. Guests are asked not to use tripods or monopods, to stay out of the aisles and not to block other people's views. The guide says guests should refrain from using tripods and monopods. It does not call them banned. Drones are named among the hazardous, dangerous or disruptive items that cannot come in. The guide does not mention power banks. The pages do not mention camera lenses, laptops and tablets.

The guide does not set a stroller size rule. Strollers and wheelchairs are not allowed on the escalators, so use the elevators or rotundas. Bags carried for medical reasons, such as monitors, pumps, prosthetics, prescription medication and hearing aids, are allowed after a security search. Diaper bags for infants, toddlers or a child with a disability are also allowed.

Umbrellas are permitted. They cannot be opened during play, and they can be opened during rain delays. The pages do not mention blankets and seat cushions.

Signs and banners must be 4 x 8 feet or smaller. They cannot be hung on a fence, railing or fascia or block sightlines, and commercial, political, derogatory or obscene messages are not allowed. The pages do not mention flags and binoculars.

Bags carried for medical reasons are allowed after a security search. Examples include equipment, monitors, pumps, prosthetics, prescription medication, special dietary supplements, hearing aids and breast pumps. Diaper bags for infants or toddlers, or a child with a disability, are also allowed. Ask a Security Supervisor if you have a question.

All bags, clothing and other items can be inspected at any time inside the ballpark. The guide says there is no re-entry once a guest has exited PNC Park. Guests with prohibited items are asked to throw them away or return them to a vehicle, and the ballpark will not hold or store them.

The page says PNC Park will not hold or store any prohibited items, so there is no bag storage.

The guide applies to the 2026 baseball season. It gives no separate list for concerts or other events, so check the event page for your date.
