Accessible Seating

Gammage Auditorium has accessible seating in the front and back of the Orchestra level. You can view a Gammage seating chart on the Gammage site.

Desert Financial Arena’s (Formerly Wells Fargo Arena) accessible seating is located on the interior concourse level of the arena. One additional guest may accompany the guest in this area. To assure accessible seating for all who need to be accommodated, we ask that other guests be seated in the rows directly in front of the accessible seating areas. Download the Desert Financial Arena seating chart (PDF) displaying locations for accessible seating.

Accessible parking will be available at the northeast gates of Mountain America Stadium, Parking Lot 59. Wheelchair-accessible carts will be available to take guests into the stadium. Additional carts will be available to take guests up the ramps to the accessible seating areas. Accessible seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
