Alcohol Policy

Legends Hospitality is the exclusive provider of concessions and catering services at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees and Legends Hospitality work together to promote the responsible use of alcohol.

The Yankees prohibit anyone from bringing alcohol into the Stadium. Anyone who deliberately conceals alcohol while attempting to enter the Stadium will be denied entry without refund and will face possible arrest and/or revocation of season tickets and/or future ticket privileges. Those who are or appear to be impaired will be denied entry without refund. Alcoholic beverages may not be removed from the Stadium.

Proof of Identification

Guests must be 21 years of age or older to purchase or consume alcohol. Proper identification is required of all Guests and must be presented, regardless of age, to purchase any alcoholic beverage.

Attempting to use fraudulent identification, purchasing alcohol for a minor or any Guest who has been denied alcohol service, and/or attempting to purchase or possessing alcohol as a minor will result in immediate ejection without refund and possible arrest and/or revocation of season tickets and/or future ticket privileges.

Possession

There is a limit of two alcoholic beverages per Guest, per sale at concessions stands and portable carts on the concourses of the Field, Main, Bleachers and Terrace/Grandstand Levels, and a limit of one alcoholic beverage per Guest, per sale from vendors if vendors are selling in the seating areas.
The Yankees and Legends Hospitality reserve the right to deny the sale or service of alcohol to Guests who show signs of impairment. Guests found in possession of alcohol after being warned not to consume or purchase alcohol face immediate ejection without refund and possible arrest and/or revocation of season tickets and/or future ticket privileges. It is a violation of New York State law to serve alcohol to anyone visibly impaired.

Bag Policy

For security reasons, each Guest is permitted to bring into Yankee Stadium only one MLB-compliant bag - presently defined by Major League Baseball as soft-sided and no larger than 16 inches by 16 inches by 8 inches - and only one smaller-sized soft-sided personal item (e.g., a handbag, clutch, tote or plastic grocery bag).

All bags, personal items and their contents will be inspected before they are permitted into the Stadium. Bag-size bins will be used at entry inspection points to confirm the size of all bags and personal items, which must fit without assistance, modification or adjustment. There is no storage area for any items at Yankee Stadium. To enable Guests to enter the Stadium in a more timely manner, Yankee Stadium management encourages Guests to remain aware of and comply with the bag policy, as well as consider carrying as little as possible. Please note security regulations may be amended at any time. For more information, please click here.

Banners and Signs

Banners and signs are permitted provided they are event-related, in good taste, not of a commercial or political nature and not supported by wood, metal or other materials that could be injurious in a crowded public setting.

Any banner or sign may be removed, at any time, at the sole and absolute discretion of Yankee Stadium management. For Yankees home games, banners and signs may be carried through the stands between innings only. Banners and signs may not be displayed in fair territory.

Please note that this policy may vary for other games, matches and/or events.

Entry and Carry-In Policy

MLB-Mandated Procedure for Entry to Yankee Stadium

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 (for more information on the bag policy, please click here).

Metal detectors are located at all Stadium gates. Once Guests have been screened and have had their MLB-compliant bag - and small soft-sided personal item - checked, they will have their ticket scanned. Yankee Stadium management strongly urges 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 cellphones, 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 soft-sided personal item, with the exception of empty, reusable, non-glass water bottles that do not exceed 24 oz in size by security personnel at a screening table alongside the metal detector. Only MLB-compliant bags - presently soft-sided and 16 inches by 16 inches by 8 inches or smaller - and small soft-sided personal items will be admitted. MLB-compliant bags and personal items are subject to a physical search and/or X-ray screening. A Guest's belongings will remain in proximity to the Guest throughout the screening process, and the Guest can pick up his or her belongings at the end of the screening table once he or she has proceeded through the metal detector. Presently, the removal of belts, jackets and shoes 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 the device detects 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 present them for further inspection. Any item or property that could affect the safety of the Stadium, its occupants or its property shall not be permitted into the Stadium. Yankee Stadium management reserves the right to prohibit or require removal of any items at its sole and absolute discretion. Any person that could affect the safety of the Stadium, its occupants or its property shall be denied entry.

Guests may not carry/bring the following items into Yankee Stadium:
