Clarkson’s September 2023 ticket guidance distinguishes assigned reserved seats, first-come general admission and standing room at the railings; standing patrons must keep aisles and accessible seating clear. That older guidance describes bag checks, permits sealed plastic water bottles and prohibits glass, cans, thermoses and coolers. Confirm the current game’s policies and general-admission allocations with the Cheel ticket office. Historical ticket prices and the archived chart do not establish current offers.
