Arrange an accessible approach with COTA if needed. |\n| Turns 12, 15 and 19 | Use Grand Plaza as the recommended public entrance. The downtown shuttle arrives on this side; McAngus arrivals can take the complimentary tram transfer. |\n| Club SI | Use the exclusive Gate 14 entry beside Lot D with your Club SI credential. This package entrance does not include a shuttle pass. |\n| Other hospitality and General Admission | Use the entry instructions supplied with your package or admission. Confirm accessible approaches with COTA; do not assume a nearby gate grants entry. |\n\nThese are recommended public approaches. Follow any specific entry on your ticket or hospitality instructions.
