Precautions:

  • Weather Considerations: Being an open-air stadium, the experience can vary significantly with the weather. Bringing sunscreen or rain gear accordingly can enhance your comfort.
  • Security Protocols: Ensure you are aware of the stadium's security measures. Large bags are generally not allowed, and all guests are subject to screenings.
