Questions about Kentucky venues
Not by default. The bag rules we have verified in Kentucky differ, so read the table above. A small clear bag is the easier choice if you visit more than one venue, but read each page.
No. We add venues in waves, starting with the places people search for most. A venue we have not read yet says so, and we show no rule for it.
Often they do. A game, a concert and a festival at the same venue can have different limits, so each venue page says which events its source covers.
