There are bathroom facilities onsite although NO PETS are allowed inside the fenced area unless approved ESA animals with proper ESA documentation.

ALL participants, fans, and supporters must enter the complex through the gated entrance on Clark or Vilas Street.

There will be NO ALCOHOL carry-ins permitted at the facility although the newly finished clubhouse has a bar inside that will be open for business. We appreciate your cooperation in adherence to this policy. There will be a food truck onsite.
