Be prepared to climb many stairs when entering what seemed like the side entrance but it was where ticket holders were directed to enter.

Poor acoustics and small screens.

2/5 - Disappointing

Don't visit on a day with an event scheduled later in the day. Was only able to walk thru the main entrance area and visit the team shop. Everything else was closed to prep for the event.
