My husband and I attended the USA vs. Germany friendly soccer game yesterday, October 14, 2023. My husband paid for two seats through a known third party ticketing company. When we arrived at the game, we realized that we were assigned a seat and a standing space beside it. When this was brought to the attention of a stadium representative, she advised us that the space was for a wheelchair. Nowhere on the seating map or diagram was there any mention of wheelchair access spaces, let alone to mistakenly select that type of ticket. Our payment confirmation clearly stated; 2 seats, for the identical price. My husband had to stand for the entire game. To compound that, stadium security asked to see his tickets, at least three times throughout the game; proving his eligibility to stand in that area, as there were so many random people loitering in and crowding the area. The requests to show ticket was both disruptive and frustrating, for obvious reasons. Although our tickets were not purchased directly from the stadium, we believe that they have a responsibility to ensure that third parties representing them, are equipped with accurate information, to prevent false advertising, and...

This place has a problem with their operation. I can complain about the seats or the extreme prices for food and drink, but that stuff is normal for sports stadiums. This big problems with this place are parking and what you can or can't bring into the stadium. One, the parking process there is a mess. They simply have no clue on how to orderly get cars to lots and parked in a timely manner. It causes massive backups out to route 84. You must plan on arriving 3 hours earlier than you thought in order to get parked and into the stadium in time for the event. Second is even worse. They explicitly state what is allowed into the stadium on their website; however, once you get there, they basically just make stuff up, such as "that item must be smaller than a piece of paper. Oops, I meant half a piece of paper. Oh, wait, it must be a clear bag". To be denied entry and then have to walk back to their terrible parking lots and miss half a game is absurd. Get it together. It costs way too much for parking and a game to have to deal...
