Lumen Field (pro soccer, football) here in Seattle limits you to 200mm. At T-Mobile Park (pro baseball), it's "Cameras smaller than 6 inches with the lens fully extended are allowed".
Crikey that's pretty restrictive! I did pack a couple of teleconverters with me incase I needed them, maybe the 200mm limit might not be so bad if you can sneak in a 1.4x/2x tele...

The 6" and/or 200mm limits are pretty common for pro stadiums across the US. There are other limits that come into play - many types of carry bags and packs (back & fanny) are commonly outright prohibited.

That's brutal... I've been thinking about a trip to the US for a while so that's good info - thanks :)

Nice shots. They don't restrict use of the long lenses?

This is a good moment to promote M43, where 300mm can get you a lot of reach at 2x crop. The 300mm F4 would be ideal. Can you sneak in a TC2X? :D
