Backpack rule confounds some fans at Busch Stadium

ST. LOUIS • Baseball fans and the Busch Stadium security team are still adjusting to new rules for what can be carried into the ballpark.

After long lines delayed entry for many fans before Tuesday night’s game, the Cardinals tweaked the inspection process.

On Thursday, more staffers and lines were available to screen fans’ belongings, and separate express lines had been added for fans without purses or bags.

Still, some fans were unaware of new security rules for what they can bring to the game. Small purses, diaper bags and fanny packs, plus clear plastic, sealed water bottles, are among the items listed as permitted on the Cardinals’ website.
