Asked by Wiki User
In short - NO.
You are not permitted to take any bottle (plastic or glass), can, or drinking glass into the stadium. If you wish to take your own drinks in, then they need to be cartons (juice etc) or those squeezy packs that some sports drinks come in. (Lucozade Sport etc) - but this is at the total discretion of the stadium.
Food - nothing at all is allowed in. You might get away with a pack of chewing gum.
Inside you can buy many types of hot food and drinks, but at quite high prices.
