NOTICE: For the safety of every Guest, all persons specifically consent to and are subject to metal detector and physical pat-down inspections prior to entry. Any item or property that could affect the safety of Yankee Stadium, its occupants or its property shall not be permitted into the Stadium. Any person that could affect the safety of the Stadium, its occupants or its property shall be denied entry.
 
WARNING: For the safety of everyone in Yankee Stadium, all Guests must stay alert and be aware of their surroundings at all times, as during all batting practices, fielding practices and warm-ups and throughout the course of all baseball games and the baseball game experiences, hard-hit baseballs and bats and fragments thereof may be thrown or hit into the stands, concourses, walkways, concessions areas, Monument Park and all other publicly accessible areas within the Stadium. Further, Guests concerned with their original ticketed location by reason of the foregoing should, at any time before or during the baseball game or the baseball game experiences, proceed to a Yankee Stadium Ticket Window, located adjacent to Gate 6 in the Great Hall, adjacent to the Yankees Team Store behind home plate in the Great Hall, or adjacent to Section 320C on the Terrace/Grandstand Level; however, please remember that: (a) any requested relocation is subject to availability; (b) any alternate seat or standing location may be in a section and/or level of the Stadium and/or within a price category that is not in the same section and/or level and/or price category of the Guests' original ticketed location, regardless of their original ticketed location; and (c) any Guest requesting relocation is responsible for paying the incremental price increase, if any, of the ticket price for the available alternate location. Relocation to a seat or standing location at a lower price than the price of the original ticketed location will not result in a refund or credit.
 
Please note that the backstop netting behind home plate is located between the inside of the Yankees dugout and the inside of the visitors dugout. The height of the backstop netting is reduced as it approaches each dugout.
 
 
NOTICE: The Yankees reserve the right, with or without refunding any amount paid by the ticket holder, to refuse admission to and/or eject any person who: (a) is or appears to be impaired; (b) deliberately conceals alcohol, illegal substances and/or other prohibited items while attempting to enter Yankee Stadium; (c) uses foul and/or abusive language; (d) displays and/or wears and fails to cover obscene, indecent and/or inappropriate clothing; or (e) exposes him/herself. Ticket holders acknowledge and agree that the Yankees' ban on foul and/or abusive language and uncovered obscene, indecent and/or inappropriate clothing (i.e., clauses (c) through (e) above) does not violate their right to free speech and/or expression and that such time, place and manner of the restrictions are reasonable to maintain a family-friendly atmosphere for young Guests, ensure the safety of all Guests and sports or event participants, and preserve the enjoyment of the game or event for all Guests. In addition, ticket holders further acknowledge and agree that by entering the Stadium, they hereby consent to the ban on foul and/or abusive language and uncovered obscene, indecent and/or inappropriate clothing and waive, to the fullest extent they may legally and effectively do so, any objection they may now or hereafter have to such ban and the penalties that the Yankees may impose for any violation of the same.
 
SECURITY ENTRY AND CARRY-IN POLICY
 
Please note that for the 2016 season, ADDITIONAL ENHANCED SECURITY MEASURES WILL BE IN PLACE. The Yankees will continue to offer expedited-access entry points at Yankee Stadium through a partnership with CLEAR - the secure biometric identity platform sanctioned by Major League Baseball and currently serving 13 airports in the United States. Ticketholders who are registered by CLEAR will be able to utilize Fast Access entryways, which will allow expedited entry into the building. Fans may pre-register for this free service at sports.clearme.com/yankees.
 
As part of Major League Baseball's initiative to standardize security procedures at all 30 Major League parks, all Guests are required to be screened via metal detectors before entering Yankee Stadium. This procedure is a result of MLB's continuing work with the Department of Homeland Security and is in addition to the bag-check policy in place throughout the league.
 
Metal detectors are located at all Stadium gates. Once Guests have been screened and have had their MLB-compliant bag, and small personal handbag, checked, they will have their tickets scanned. The Yankees strongly urge all Guests to budget additional time for entry into the Stadium when planning their visits.
 
Before proceeding through metal detectors, guests will be required to remove cell phones, cameras and any large metal objects from their pockets and place them in a small plastic container, which will be visually inspected, along with their MLB-compliant bag, and small personal handbag, by security personnel at a screening table alongside the metal detector. Only MLB-compliant bags - presently 16 inches by 16 inches by 8 inches or smaller - will be admitted. Guests' belongings will remain in proximity to the Guest throughout the screening process, and Guests can pick up their belongings at the end of the screening table once they have proceeded through the metal detector. Presently, the removal of belts, shoes and jackets is not required.
 
Pursuant to MLB requirements, all Guests, including children, must be screened. Infants and toddlers may be carried through the metal detectors; those children who are able to walk may be asked to walk through on their own. Those Guests who choose not to or who are unable to go through a walk-through metal detector have the option of being manually checked with a hand-held metal detector or a physical pat-down. 
 
If a walk-through metal detector alerts a security officer to the presence of items that require further inspection, Guests will be directed to the side, where they will be screened via a hand-held metal detector or physical pat-down. When the items in question are discovered, Guests will be asked to display them and/or allow a security officer to examine them. At this time, a security officer will determine whether or not these items will be permitted in Yankee Stadium.
