If you're gearing up for your first live KBO game, it's crucial to check the size and number of bags, the type and condition of drinks, and the kind of food you can bring before you head out. This guide is based on the minimum safety regulations common to KBO league stadiums, but it doesn't mean that all stadiums operate the same way or have the same exceptions. Particularly for items like mats or portable tables that could affect seating and movement, it's best to check the specific guidelines of the stadium you plan to visit.
One Bag and One Shopping Bag Per Person
Each spectator is allowed one bag measuring up to 45cm x 45cm x 20cm. You can also bring one shopping bag, which must not exceed 30cm in width, 50cm in height (including handles), and 12cm in depth. Other bags, boxes, and coolers are restricted. Items like mats, portable chairs, and folding tables are generally not permitted.
Check Beverage Containers, Total Amount, and Unopened Status
| Check Item | KBO SAFE Guidelines |
|---|---|
| Glass Bottles | All glass bottles are restricted |
| PET Beverages | PET beverages exceeding a total of 1L are restricted |
| Aluminum Can Beverages | Allowed only in unopened condition, up to 2 cans per person |
| PET Beverage Allowance | Allowed only in unopened condition, up to 1 PET per person |
| Frozen Water | Restricted |
Therefore, when bringing beverages, don't just count the number; check the type of container, total PET amount, and whether they are unopened. Don't assume that all cans or PETs are automatically allowed; verify that they meet the specified conditions.
Sharp Items and Disruptive Objects Are Prohibited
- Sharp items like knives and scissors
- Cooking utensils
- Noisy cheering devices
- Items that can be thrown
- Laser pointers
- Pets
Check for Exceptions on Mats and Stationary Items
Items like mats, portable chairs, and folding tables that could obstruct viewing or movement are generally restricted. Items that are placed on stadium facilities like seats or cup holders are also subject to restrictions. However, there may be specific areas where teams allow certain items, such as grass seating, so do not assume that all stadiums have the same seating policies. Check with the team you are visiting to confirm any exceptions.
Food Is Allowed, But Be Cautious with Hot Soups and Strong Odors
Food items that do not fall under prohibited categories can be brought in within the allowed size and quantity limits. However, items like hot soups or foods with strong odors that could disrupt the safety and comfort of other spectators may be restricted. Food is also not allowed to exceed the limits set for bags and shopping bags.
Final Checklist Before Entry
- Check the size and number of your one bag and one shopping bag.
- Verify that PET and can beverages meet the unopened status, allowed quantity, and total amount conditions, excluding glass bottles and frozen water.

- Confirm the exceptions for mats, portable chairs, folding tables, and stationary items in the area you are visiting.
