What items are allowed & prohibited?

  • Updated

The following list indicates items that are or are not permitted inside SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park on SoFi Stadium event days.

All items are subject to security screening, and admittance of any item is at the discretion of security personnel and Venue Management.

Animals

Service Animals are permitted; however, comfort or emotional support animals are not.

Service Animal Policy: A service animal is a dog or a miniature horse that has been individually trained to perform tasks directly related to a person’s disability. The guest and their service animal may be asked to leave if the animal is “out of control” or not housebroken. Animals must be on a leash, harness, or other type of restraint at all times unless the owner is unable to retain an animal on a leash due to a disability. The owner must be in full control of the animal at all times. The care and supervision of the animal is solely the responsibility of the owner. Service animals are not required to wear a vest. Please ask any of our Guest Experience Staff for directions to the animal relief area.

Bag Policy

Guests and their belongings are subject to search upon entry. You can help keep the lines moving quickly by leaving large bags at home.

NO backpacks, purses or bags are allowed to be brought into the venue, EXCEPT for the following:

  • Small clutch purses and fanny packs that are 6" x 9" or smaller do not need to be clear, but can have no more than one pocket.
  • All other bags larger than 6" x 9" must be smaller than 12" x 6" x 12" and clear.
  • Hydration packs are allowed and do not need to be clear, but must be emptied of all liquid and have no more than two pockets in addition to the one holding the water reservoir.

For the avoidance of doubt, larger iridescent, color-tinted, and opalescent bags are NOT allowed; they must be clear.

Banners & Signs

Venue Management and Security reserve the right to prohibit and permit any signage brought by fans into the festival.

Signage not permitted will be disposed of by Venue Management or security unless the guest wishes to return it to their vehicle. All signs are subject to final approval by Venue Management.
