Spectator FAQs:
What is the seating like? There are bleachers for the main stadiums and limited bench seating for other courts, but it will get full during the MLP matches. You may bring a chair, but spaces aren’t the best to sit in your chair and watch. There are some tents at the south end for chairs.
Can I bring food and water? Yes it is recommended to bring your own water bottle (we have jugs to refill) and you may bring in food; however, there will be about 3-4 trucks per day as well.
Is it busy? Thursday-Saturday are the busiest days.
Can I park onsite? No, parking is reserved for volunteers, vendors and players onsite. Spectators are encouraged to use uber/lyft/DASH bus or park at the overflow lots. See parking page for overflow locations.
