BE PREPARED & ARRIVE EARLY

To make your matchday as smooth as possible, we encourage all ticket holders to access their tickets prior to matchday to avoid confusion and issues at the gate.

Fans are also encouraged to arrive early to avoid long lines. All three gates will be open and you can use any of the main gates, regardless of the gate noted on your ticket.

In the event of severe weather within 8 miles of the stadium, fans will be asked to evacuate the seating bowl and take shelter in the concourse. Stadium staff will help direct fans to the nearest and safest shelter until weather has moved away from the stadium. Entry gates will close if lightning is present until it has passed. Fans that have not entered the stadium will be directed to return to their vehicles or to take shelter elsewhere. Reminder: Umbrellas are not permitted inside the stadium.
