How venue food-allergy policy works in the US

There is no comprehensive federal law requiring sports arenas to follow a specific food-allergy protocol. Venues generally rely on voluntary policies, concessions operator guidelines, and ADA-based reasonable-accommodation obligations. Common practices include permitting outside food for medical/allergy needs (with bag inspection), offering peanut-controlled seating sections, and publishing allergen guides — but specifics differ by team and venue. Always confirm directly with the venue before attending.
