Accessible Seating
We wanted to make sure that guests with accessible needs can watch a game or event from anywhere in the stadium and have their family there with them and designed our seating arrangements with everyone’s needs in mind. This includes:
- Twenty three accessible seating pods are located on every level with 271 accessible/ companion seats (157 and 114 respectively)
- Power stations were included in the majority of the accessible seating pods to allow users to charge their chairs or other devices (e.g. breathing apparatus)
- Each of the 38 suites and the AGT Lounge have dedicated accessible viewing spaces Guests with accessible needs have access to a variety of seating options
- 14 of the accessible seating pods are located on the main concourse level as you enter Mosaic Stadium, so guests do not have to go up the elevators, stairs or ramps to get to their seats
- Accessible seating areas are gated so those in those areas can sit comfortably without getting congested by the crowd
- Accessible drink counter tops have been installed in all of the accessible pods following feedback from the community
