We are walking in as we are staying right down the street but want to meet up in the kumbata lot with others...can we just walk in with our cooler?

This is a great Places

Tailgating in the parking lot, in the venue itself, not much allowed in & they do scan you at the gates.

No coolers. Water bottles can be refilled at a water fountain at the main bathroom porch.

No bags larger than half a sheet of paper and all containers must be empty.
