Inside the Venue At A Glance
02
MixedUpper deck & circulation
The terrace is high and requires more vertical travel. Inspect the level and route before buying when steep seating or extended escalator and ramp trips are a concern.
03
MixedDowntown arrival & exit
The central location is useful for combining an event with downtown plans, but vehicle queues and pedestrian crowding can build quickly before and after major events.
