In order to accommodate special needs and provide a great experience to for all schools/groups, we have a few things we want to make you aware of that will be new this year!

BUS DRIVERS: To maximize lower bowl seating for students, bus Drivers will no longer be seated with the school they come with, but will have seating in a dedicated section. If you want them seated with your school/group, they will need to be registered as an adult ticket or as one of you chaperones.

SPECIAL NEEDS: In order to accommodate all special need requests, we may have to split up your school/group into separate seating areas. Example: you have 144 total registrations with your school, 2 of those need wheelchair accessible seats and 2 aides with them, we may need to seat the 4 special requests in a different area than the rest of the 140 others. Please make sure you are accounting for this when planning for student to sponsor ratio.

SEATING: We are implementing new procedures this year to maximize our lower bowl seating for the most schools possible. We will do our best to accommodate all seating requests, however, due to high registration numbers, we cannot guarantee that all schools will be seated in the arena lower bowl.
