Strict health and safety rules will be in place, including the following: 

  • Face coverings must be worn throughout the property at all times
  • All fans will receive temperature screenings before gate entry
  • Grandstand seats will be marked for distancing
  • Attendees must use pre-assigned gates and remain in their designated zones.
