Because the facility is compact and easily navigable, you won’t face long walks or steep climbs to your seats. If you’re taking public transit, factor in a short walk along Main Street from nearby Metro Rail or bus stops to the entrance.

Drivers should arrive early to secure convenient parking near the venue. If you’re meeting friends, choose a clear meet-up point outside the main entrance before the crowd builds, then head in together to find your seats and settle in for the game.
