Quick Answer
Climate Pledge Arena allows factory-sealed bottles of water that are 1 liter or smaller to be brought into events. This policy allows guests to stay hydrated while also maintaining safety and cleanliness standards. Other outside food and drinks are generally prohibited.
What are the rules for bringing water into Climate Pledge Arena?
Climate Pledge Arena has the following rules regarding bringing water into events:
- Factory-sealed plastic bottles of water that are 1 liter or smaller are allowed.
- The bottle cap must be on the bottle – no loose caps permitted.
- Empty reusable water bottles or canteens are allowed as long as they are not made of metal or hard plastic.
- No other outside food or drinks are permitted, including flavored water, soda, and alcoholic beverages.
- No coolers or ice packs can be brought in.
These rules allow guests to bring in their own water to stay hydrated during events while maintaining standards of cleanliness and safety within the arena. Limits on bottle size prevent people from bringing large volumes of liquids into the venue.
Why does Climate Pledge Arena have this water bottle policy?
There are several reasons why Climate Pledge Arena only allows factory-sealed water bottles of 1 liter or less:
- Safety and security: Limits on water bottle size and allowing only factory-sealed bottles helps ensure no prohibited or dangerous substances could be brought into the arena.
- Cleanliness: By not allowing open containers, loose caps, or ice packs, the policy aims to reduce potential spills and messes in the arena.
- Space considerations: Limiting bottle size helps prevent people from bringing large volumes of liquids that could take up excessive space or block aisles and exits.
- Hydration needs: A 1 liter bottle provides ample capacity for event attendees to stay hydrated.
- Profits: As an entertainment venue, Climate Pledge Arena generates revenue from food and drink sales on site. Allowing only limited outside beverages protects these revenue streams.
So in summary, the policy balances patron needs with arena logistics, profits, cleanliness, and safety.
What kind of water bottles can you bring into Climate Pledge Arena?
The water bottles allowed into Climate Pledge Arena must meet the following specifications:
- Made of plastic (no metal or hard plastic bottles)
- Factory sealed upon entry (no opened or refilled bottles)
- 1 liter or smaller in size
- Bottle cap must be attached to bottle
Popular types of water bottles that would meet these guidelines include:
- Disposable plastic water bottles (e.g. Poland Spring, Dasani, Aquafina)
- Reusable plastic water bottles (e.g. CamelBak, Nalgene)
- Plastic sport water bottles (e.g. Gatorade, Powerade)
As long as the water bottle is made of soft plastic, is factory sealed, and 1 liter or less, it will be permitted into events at Climate Pledge Arena. Reusable bottles must be empty upon entry.
Are there any other drinks you can bring into the arena?
Outside of factory-sealed water bottles meeting the size guidelines, no other outside beverages are allowed into Climate Pledge Arena events. This includes:
- Soda, juice, sports drinks, etc.
- Flavored waters
- Alcoholic beverages
- Open containers of any kind
Beverages purchased inside the arena are allowed into all public areas.
The only exception is for medical needs. Guests who require juice or other beverages for medical reasons may request an exception at guest services. Documentation from a medical provider may be required.
But otherwise, water meeting the outlined criteria is the only outside drink permitted in Climate Pledge Arena during ticketed events. All other beverages must be purchased inside the venue.
Can you refill water bottles inside the arena?
Climate Pledge Arena provides water bottle refilling stations for patrons to use during events. These contactless stations allow you to refill reusable water bottles brought into the arena.
The refilling stations are located throughout the concourses on all levels of the arena. They can accommodate standard reusable water bottles like CamelBaks, Nalgenes, and other sports bottles.
To use the refilling stations:
- Locate a water bottle refill station, which will be clearly marked with signs
- Place your reusable bottle under the dispenser spout and push the button to activate the automated water flow
- Lift the bottle when it is full and the water flow will automatically stop
- Replace the cap on your bottle before carrying
Refill stations provide chilled, filtered water so attendees can enjoy refreshment without purchasing drinks in the arena. Patrons are encouraged to bring reusable empty bottles to events at Climate Pledge Arena to take advantage of the free refill service.
Water Fountain Locations
For easy access throughout events, here is a breakdown of where the water bottle refilling stations are located inside Climate Pledge Arena:

Can you bring an empty reusable water bottle into the arena?

Reusable bottles must meet the following guidelines:

Popular types of empty reusable bottles permitted include:

Can you exit and re-enter the arena?
Climate Pledge Arena has a no re-entry policy for most events, meaning guests cannot exit the venue and re-enter. This is to maintain security and limit the fraudulent use of tickets.
However, smoking areas are provided outside so patrons can briefly exit to smoke and then return in through designated re-entry gates. To use the smoking areas and re-enter:
- Have your ticket scanned and get a wristband from staff upon exiting
- Proceed directly to the designated outdoor smoking area
- Return through the re-entry gate within 15 minutes and show your wristband to regain entry
You must have both a valid event ticket and re-entry wristband to come back inside. Minors may not use the smoking area.
Beyond the smoking area, re-entry is prohibited at Climate Pledge Arena. Bags will be searched again upon return. Leaving the premises for other reasons means you forfeit the ability to re-enter.
