has anyone brought a DSLR to MLB game? i want to bring my T2i and a 55-250mm, i read that it up to park digression if you can bring it or not. how can make this go smooth?

I was told by someone " as long as its not a professional camera",, What is defined as a professional camera? intechangable lens?

the camera cant be longer the XX inches

Not sure about that venue but I have brought pretty much the same setup into Fenway with no problem.
I had my 18-55 mounted on T1i and 55-250 in the backpack. Guy checking my stuff at the gate saw it and never said a word. It looks a lot smaller in the bag so maybe that was it, or that it is pretty small in general?

I had the exact same setup in Fenway with no problem earlier this year.

I have brought 55-250 as well as 200 f/2.8 at the door and then stuck a 1.4 x on it without any issues at Yankee stadium. I did see a fan, not a designated photographer, with two white L lenses once, but he was trying to/had to be really sneaky with it and his backpack.

I recently bought one of the Sigma 18mm-250mm lens, unless the gatekeepers are into photography, I'm betting it would make it through. I'll never know personally, I am unable to climb up stairs due to spinal cord issues.

Copied from Petco Park: "Still and video cameras are welcome in Petco Park. Guests are asked to avoid standing in the aisles while using video equipment, obstructing the views of others, or using tripods or monopods.

The San Diego Padres reserve the right to request that guests discontinue filming or taking pictures on ballpark property."

MLB has a policy relating to the size of things allowed in any ballpark. It is 16" X 16" X 8"
