It's best to check the home stadium's policies via email or phone for matters like this.

The 2 stadiums here in Chicago are basically the same. Neither igley Field, not only are you not allowed to bring bats in, but, if you're somehow lucky enough to score one during BP, it'll be 30 seconds, tops, before one of the old geezer ushers is on top of you telling you that the bat has to be claim checked in the team's offices.

At the Cell, technically, the same rules are in effect, but enforcement is much more lax, as most White Sox ushers are

20=somethings and/or college kids more given to socializing with each other than checking for conntraband or seating fans. Your BP bat might make it with you through the game.
