WHAT ARE YOUR SECURITY MEASURES?
Everyone will need to go through a metal detector before entering the venue. We will have security onsite that will be checking everyone. We have a zero tolerance policy that evening for any type of harassment or disruption. You will be escorted off the premises immediately.
If you see anything, say something – please tell a volunteer or security.
WILL I GET TO MEET PLAYERS?
Unfortunately, we will not be providing any chance to meet any players that evening. Anyone that is seen harrassing special guests or entering any spaces they are not allowed will be immediately escorted off premises.
WHAT COVID POLICIES DO YOU HAVE IN PLACE?
We will be closely monitoring the city & county regulations for Covid-19 and following those guidelines as the game day arrives. Although not mandatory, we encourage everyone to please wear a mask if you can (the event is indoors and you’ll be sitting close to individuals) and to stay home if you feel sick.

Yes! We will sell tickets at the door. If we still have tickets available that evening, you are more than welcome to purchase starting at 5:00PM PT.
