DISABILITY ACCESS
SERVICE ANIMALS: Companion dogs and pets are not allowed, except licensed service animals. All service animals must be leashed and under control. If the dog is disruptive, it will be asked to leave.
PARKING: Disability parking will be marked near the entrance. Disabled parking is located on both sides of the entrance, and is available on a first come, first served basis. If this parking is full, drivers can use our load/unload area to drop off passengers, but will need to then move and park in general parking.
THE VENUE: Wheelchairs & walkers can be on the field - the spectator tent isn't far from the entrance. Just be aware that the field is bumpy and uneven, and moving from one place to another needs special attention and care.
Day limits for spectators! Our overwhelming attendance has required us to put limits on people through the gates each day.
