This is 1 of the best accessible stadiums I've seen.  Wheelchairs tin john go into through whatsoever gate, which volition deposit yous correct onto the plain degree concourse.  Chairs sit down at the exceed of the plain level, similar many stadiums.  There are no obstructions at all.  The councourse is open, as well as then if yous teach to the snack bar yous tin john yet run across the game.

No one, as well as I hateful no one, has a ameliorate ticket purchasing organization for wheelchair users.  Online ticketing is available on their site.  First yous pick which degree of ticket yous want.  Next, a seating nautical chart is presented as well as yous simply click on the seats yous want...some of which are labeled every bit accessible.  It's tardily to accommodate your grouping amongst this system.  Last fourth dimension nosotros went, the seating nautical chart pick made it tardily to run across that our grouping would go ameliorate arranged amongst the wheelchair as well as 3 companions inwards the exceed row amongst the iv people who made upwardly the residuum of our grouping straight inwards front end instead of spread out downwardly the row.

All inwards all, a slap-up house to run across a game.
