Spectator Information

Please note that The Bandmasters Championship does not control this policy. It was implemented by stadium management for the safety and security of all attendees, and is now a common procedure at large sports venues. We encourage you to view the stadium's Prohibited Items List if you plan to bring any items into the stadium.
