Arrive Early & Please Pardon our Dust!
We’re looking forward to unveiling a refreshed Bounce House in 2026! While construction is underway this season, all stadium gates will remain open. However, portions of the west side of the stadium and areas within IOA Plaza will be closed due to active construction. To make your gameday experience as smooth as possible, we encourage fans to arrive early and allow extra time for entry.
- All entry gates will be open for the 2025 season.
- The service road around Acrisure Bounce House will remain fully open.
- Construction will primarily affect the areas near IOA Plaza and Nicholson Fieldhouse, with some walkways and portions of the plaza temporarily reduced in size.
