Need to Know

Best for
A close soccer view, an active River End, and a waterfront setting
Watch out for
River End Sections 134–140 are the Union supporters’ area, where fans stand, sing and chant; visiting-team colors are prohibited there, including red. Choose another area if that atmosphere does not suit your group. The guide requires clear bags smaller than 14 × 14 × 6 inches, with special consideration for medical needs and infant care. Re-entry requires staff handling for an emergency; ordinary exit does not permit return on the same ticket.

Inside the Venue At A Glance

01

Positive

Close-to-field design

The compact scale supports close soccer sightlines. Seats nearest active supporter sections trade a calmer view for more standing and noise.

02

Positive

River End identity

The River End is the venue's emotional center. Review section expectations before buying there.

03

Mixed

Access is the tradeoff

Official transportation guidance offers several approaches, but the location and lot exits require advance planning.
