ENTERING AND SCREENING:

• Cameras and video recorders will be allowed in the building but can be the only things in a camera bag. Tripods are not allowed.
• The Arena concourse will flow in one direction; signs will be posted.

CLEANING AND PRECAUTIONS:

• A professional cleaning service will thoroughly clean and sanitize all areas of the building after each event, including glass, carpets, doors, and door handles, etc. The crew will be at each event to continuously sanitize the bathrooms and concourse area.
• Additional hand sanitizing stations will be immediately available upon passing through the metal detectors; however, those attending are encouraged to bring their own as well.

SEATING:
