- Service Animal Policy: A service animal is a working animal, not a pet. Service animals are permitted at Citi Field. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines a service animal as any dog, such as a guide dog or signal dog that is individually trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability. This includes psychiatric service animals that are individually trained to provide service to individuals with psychiatric or neurological disabilities, such as preventing or interrupting impulsive or destructive behaviors. Service animals must be harnessed, leashed or tethered at all times, unless special circumstances exist, and will be required to rest in the seating area of the individual with a disability, rather than in the aisle. A guest whose service animal poses a threat to the safety of other guests and employees, or whose animal is not housebroken, may be asked to escort the animal off the premises.

- Prohibited Items: The following items are not allowed inside Citi Field: commercial audio/visual equipment; laser pointers; noisemaking devices; fireworks; drones; animals (except for service animals); and weapons. Firefighters are allowed to wear their full uniform and/or gear.
