SECURITY SCREENING
All items and persons entering Kroger Field are subject to security screening and inspection via a walk through metal detector and/or a hand wand metal detector. Arrive to Kroger Field early in order to avoid lines and delays while entering the stadium.
Using the latest screening technologies, guests will not need to remove any items from their person as they pass through, like your wallet, keys, or phone. Unlike the airports or other venues you have visited, you can keep everything on you. Your wristlet or clutch will also be carried right through the metal detector. Remember, we have a Kroger Field Clear Bag Policy
If you alarm when passing through the metal detector, the security staff member will conduct a secondary screening using a handheld metal detector wand. If you are still alarming, a police officer may be summoned to assist with the security screening.
Guests may refuse inspections but management reserves the right to refuse entry. Guests that are found with prohibited items are subject to Kentucky Law and/or ejection from the stadium. Cooperation with event management and security personnel will help maintain Kroger Field as a safe and secure environment for all guests.
Weapons are not permitted in the arena/stadium. Possession of a firearm or weapon is strictly forbidden. Possession of a weapon will result in immediate confiscation, ejection and/or possible arrest.
Generally, all persons may pass through the Walk Through Medical Detectors. The walk through metal detectors comply with regulations relating to pacemakers, defibrillators, or other vital support systems; and pregnant women. The electromagnetic field emitted by CEIA (manufacturer of our metal detectors) devices is extremely weak, with amplitude comparable with that of the earth magnetic field. However, CEIA cannot exclude that this screening device may affect personal medical electronic devices, depending on their functionality or their restrictions on use. Any recommendation or directive issued by medical personnel or medical equipment manufacturers relating to electromagnetic fields must therefore be implemented. If you are unable to pass through the metal detector, let the event staff know and they will perform an alternative screening using a hand-held metal detector wand.
Sworn State and Local law enforcement officers carrying a concealed firearm must enter through Gate 1.5 and shall produce their agency ID card and admission ticket to the UK Police representative in Police Intake to be admitted.
SMOKING & TOBACCO
The use of all tobacco products and electronic cigarettes is prohibited inside and outside on University of Kentucky’s campus, including Kroger Field and surrounding parking lots. Nicorette gum will be available at the Kroger Simple Truth stand.

Field and pit ticket holders must enter through Gates 1 and 12. Fans are encouraged to arrive early and should enter the stadium at the assigned gate that will be listed on their mobile ticket.
STADIUM SEAT SAFETY
Standing or stepping on stadium seats may lead to serious bodily injury. UK Athletics requests, for your safety and other stadium guests, that you do not step, stand or use seats in a manner other than intended at Kroger Field.
SUSTAINABILITY
UK Athletics strives to aid and advance sustainability efforts, in both the UK Campus and Lexington communities, through recycling initiatives. We encourage every UK fan to be an active participant in this important initiative both in the parking lots and inside Kroger Field.
