Bush Field is Yale’s covered baseball stadium, formerly Yale Field, with a restored exterior and updated restrooms documented in 2020. The baseball guide prohibits metal/glass bottles, open containers and containers larger than 20 ounces; confirm the water and medical arrangements before packing. It refers to Yale’s approved-bag list without specifying baseball dimensions. The separately published clear-bag article explicitly names the Bowl, Lee Amphitheater and Ingalls Rink, so confirm Bush Field’s actual limits. Some copied tailgating text refers to the Yale Bowl; confirm baseball instructions rather than assuming football rules or return privileges.
