Concessions will not be open, but bottles of water will be provided at the stadium entrance. Fans are expected to follow social distancing measures including mask wearing.

Fans are encouraged to park at Cherry Garage.

The team will travel by bus to the stadium, and fans will be allowed to gather along the route, which will have the team travel northbound on Campbell, turn west on Enke, north on Cherry and westbound on 4th before arriving at Arizona Stadium.
