EagleBank guest policies

Please review the following information as it pertains to the EagleBank Arena and their policies:

Parking 

Will be available for guests with disabilities at the South entrance, including a drop-off location. Additional parking based on availability in Lots A, L, and K. Parking attendants will direct traffic to open spaces.

 After the ceremony, parents can meet their graduates outside on the North side of the building. Students will exit out the building toward the North via the East.

Accessible Seating

If a family member comes into the building in a wheelchair and needs to remain in the wheelchair, EagleBank Arena has wheelchair seating in each corner of the concourse (Portal 4, 8, 13, and 17). This space is extremely limited and as such we ask that no more than one family member sits with them in the wheelchair area. It is available on a first come, first served basis.

EagleBank Arena also provides accessible seating for patrons who may have difficulty with steps.  When entering the building, patrons are level with row F, which is 12 rows from the floor. This row has no stairs to climb.

EagleBank Arena staff will place signs on rows E, F, and G, as a means of reserving them for those patrons who cannot negotiate stairs. We ask that only one family member sits with this person, as this seating is limited.

All other seats in the building are up or down the stairs, with railings in most locations. The rest of the family can then usually find seating nearby in the section, a few rows above or below these concourse level rows.

  • EagleBank Arena currently uses CEIA OPENGATE Magnetometers to screen upon entry.
