A downtown stadium for Switchbacks FC soccer and other events, with free earplugs and sensory kits on the concourse. There's no re-entry, so the whole plan happens inside.
“Guests who feel overstimulated can access sensory items free of charge at the merchandise stand on the west side of the stadium.” “Weidner Field provides complimentary earplugs for guests that are available at our merchandise stand on the west side of the stadium.”
“Sensory kits are available upon request for those guests needing sensory accommodations to help them navigate certain elements of the match. Kits can be located at either one of our two apparel locations on the concourse.” switchbacksfc.com
Weidner Field is home to Switchbacks FC soccer and other events. The stadium names no sensory-friendly matches, so the sensory kit and earplugs are the supports to plan around. Pick them up on the way in, before the stands fill and it gets loud.
Once you leave the stadium you can't come back in on the same ticket. Plan breaks inside: a walk on the concourse, a snack, or a few minutes away from the seats.
Fireworks are possible at events. If your kid is sound-sensitive, have the earplugs or your own headphones in before kickoff.
Free earplugs and sensory items at the merchandise stand on the west side, and sensory kits on request at either apparel stand on the concourse.
No re-entry. “Once a ticketed guest exits the stadium from an event, that guest is not allowed to re-enter.” The only exception is a lightning delay.
Clear bags only, up to 18 by 12 by 6 inches or a one-gallon bag, plus a clutch up to 6.5 by 4.5 inches. Diapers and wipes go in the clear bag; diaper bags aren't allowed.
Fireworks and pyrotechnics (“Weidner Field events may involve the use of fireworks and other pyrotechnics.”)not stated
