Busch Stadium Bag Policy - A Handy Guide

Located in the heart of downtown St. Louis, Missouri is Busch Stadium. This is the third stadium to carry the Busch name and it was built in 2006. Busch Stadium is home to the St. Louis Cardinals club in the MLB - Major League Baseball. This modern venue features all the amenities fans look for in a big stadium experience, and because it's so conveniently located, it makes getting to and from the stadium simple.

The stadium is part of an entire Ballpark Village that only adds to the experience of going to Cardinals games. There's even a Cardinals museum called the Cardinals Hall of Fame & Museum inside the Village. The Village is very close to St. Louis' entertainment and main shopping area, perfect for those who want to make a full day out of their visit. And if you are going to explore downtown St. Louis, be sure to check out the City Museum, The Gateway Arch National Park, sample some craft beer, the annual Mardi Gras celebration, and more.

Bag Policy at Busch Stadium

When attending a game, or any other event at Busch Stadium there is a bag policy in effect for all guests. You'll be able to bring in purses, bags, and soft-sided coolers as long as they aren't bigger than 10" x 8" x 10". Medical bags, wristlets, clutches, and diaper bags ( if you are with a child) are allowed allowed.

Prohibited bags or containers include Styrofoam coolers, hard-sided coolers, and soft-sided coolers that are bigger than 10" x 8" x 10".

No matter the bag you bring in, they will all be subject to a search at the Inspection Lane and will go through metal detectors. These inspection lanes are at all gates, just check your ticket to see which one you're supposed to enter.

Additional Rules and Policies at Busch Stadium - Now You're Informed

Here are additional policies and tips that guests will want to know about before heading to the ballpark.

Transportation Options

The stadium is located on Clark Street but keep in mind this street closes during the season on game days. You can access the Park-Ride lots for free when heading to a St Louis Cardinals game. These are found at MetroLink stations. You can then get a day pass and you'll be dropped off right across the street from the gates.

Keep in mind, parking can be busy and limited so it may not be an ideal solution. If you want to make it before the first pitch, then it's not worth dealing with the parking situation.

Other options are the #99 Downtown Trolley or the #40 Broadway Trolley.

Depending on where you're arriving from, you may even want to walk to the stadium.

Food and Drink Policy

The Busch Stadium policy on food items and drinks is just as important. Empty plastic bottles, mugs, and cups are allowed. Non-alcoholic beverages in sealed containers are also allowed. The exception is drinks with alcohol, they aren't permitted.

What about bringing your own food inside? Fans can bring in most food items can be brought in, but they need to be in a soft-sided cooler.

We recommend instead you buy your food at the stadium. Go ahead and grab a cold beverage and hot dog, and soak up the atmosphere. Outside the stadium in Ballpark Village, there are also restaurants and plenty of places to grab snacks before game time. Any of the kiosks, concession stands, and retail locations in the ballpark use cashless transactions.

Camera Policy

If you've got the best seats in town at the Cardinals game, then you will probably want to take pictures. Cameras are allowed but not professional equipment. Lenses longer than the length of the camera will be turned away at the gate. Tripods aren't permitted either.

Guests with Children

If you plan to bring the kids with you to Busch Stadium, then there are some features you may want to be aware of.
