Inside the Venue At A Glance
01
MixedArrival & transportation
The building has several gates on different levels, so the parking approach and ticketed section should be considered together rather than after reaching the plaza.
02
MixedSeat & section strategy
Use the live basketball chart to match the section to its ground, plaza, or concourse-level route, especially when an accessible entrance is required.
03
