1. Getting There
Please check back thirty (30) days prior to the event for directions to the event.
2. Accessible Festival Entrance
There are specially designated lanes at the Festival entrances for patrons with disabilities. Look for signs with the international symbol of access above the accessible entrance lanes or ask a team member to direct you to the lanes.
3. ADA Accessibility Center (“Access Center”)
The Access Center is located inside the Guest Services Tent by the main Festival entrance gate. Please look for the Guest Services signage.
Our Access Center services include, but are not limited to:
- Answers to questions specific to the Accessibility Program
- Information relevant to our patrons with disabilities
- Requests for accessibility wristbands
- Power outlets for recharging powered mobility devices
- Programming information in large print and braille for reference
- Assistive Listening Device pickup
4. Wristbands and Accessible Viewing Areas
There is not an “accessibility ticket” that needs to be purchased in order to utilize accessibility services at Innings Festival or Extra Innings Festival. A limited number of reserved accessible seats are available in the Center Field Bleachers and Left Field Reserved.
Upon arrival, please visit the Access Center for information on the accessibility wristband program. Patrons with mobility impairments or Deaf/Hard of Hearing patrons can request an accessibility wristband at the Access Center. This wristband is to show Festival staff that the patron plus one companion is eligible to enter the accessible viewing areas or the Deaf and Hard of Hearing areas. The accessibility wristband is non-transferable.
Note: The wristband does not guarantee a spot in these areas. Please note that both viewing areas have a limited capacity and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. We cannot save or reserve seats or areas on the platform. Once it’s determined that an accessible viewing area is filled to capacity (including adequate aisle space for entering and exiting the area), the area will not be available for additional entry.
Signage will be placed at the Festival identifying all viewing areas for patrons with mobility limitations and patrons who are Deaf / Hard of Hearing. Accessible Viewing Areas are marked with the International Symbol of Access on the Festival Map. To see the designated accessible viewing locations please visit the Access Center for a map of the Festival grounds, visit the map on the official Festival website, or the map in the official Festival app.
- Accessibility Program wristbands to access Accessible seated viewing platforms and Deaf / Hard of Hearing viewing areas are good for the whole weekend.
- Do NOT remove your wristband for the entire duration of the event. If your Accessibility program wristband is damaged or removed, it can be replaced at the Accessibility Center.
5. Patrons with Mobility Limitations
The Festival is wheelchair accessible but is a large venue with great distances between activities and attractions. It is outdoors and across city streets and pathways. Some travel is over natural terrain and terrain designed for motor vehicles. If it should rain, there could be mud.
The Festival does not provide personal care, golf cart rides, or push service of any kind or wheelchairs for rent or loan. Wheelchairs, power wheelchairs, and three or four-wheeled scooters are allowed only for use by patrons with mobility disabilities. For safety reasons, requests to use other power-driven mobility devices will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Powered wheelchairs may also be charged at the Access Center. Patrons should bring all cords and accessories needed to charge their devices. Chargers must use a 110-volt, 20-amp circuit.
Accessible portable toilets are available at the ends of each bank of portable toilets throughout the Festival venue.
6. American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreted Performances
The Festival provides many American Sign Language (ASL) interpreted music performances for patrons who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. Please email access-arizona@inningsfestival.com to request a specific performance be interpreted.
The deadline to request an interpretation is thirty (30) days prior to the Festival to allow adequate time to prepare. The deadline is January 22, 2025. We will make every effort to accommodate, but cannot guarantee, requests submitted very close to the Festival.
A schedule of interpreted performances will be posted on the festival website within a week of the event.
7. Special Dietary Needs and Prescription Medicine
Outside food and drinks are not allowed inside the Festival, but if a patron has special medical dietary restrictions, items will be allowed.
Patrons are allowed to bring their medically necessary materials and medications into the Festival, provided that all medicine has a prescription label with the patron’s name. Our personnel at the entry gates will verify the contents of any medically necessary materials. Out of concern for the Festival staff who handle the trash, please dispose of your medical waste and syringes in the proper disposal, which is located at the medical tent. Please see the official Festival map for the location of the medical tent. Please do not dispose of these items in other trash bins at the Festival.
8. Service Animals
Pets are not allowed within the Festival grounds. However, miniature horses and dogs, which have been trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability, are welcome. If accompanied by a service animal, you will be provided a Patron Notice of Responsibility for a Service Animal. Please enter through the accessible lane at either entrance.
9. Family Services
Need a place to change a diaper? Or a place to sit and nurse? Please head over to the Access Center. They will direct you to our Family Services tent located just outside the Left Field baseball activities area.
10. Can I bring a companion to assist me?
Companions are welcome at Innings Festival, but all festival attendees must purchase a festival ticket to enter. If you have any other questions or need anything else we will have staff available on-site at the Accessibility Center located by the main Festival entrance gate.
11. Have Questions About Our ADA Access & Accommodations?
For any questions, please email: access-arizona@inningsfestival.com
12. Where can I find accessible restrooms?
Accessible portable toilets are available at the ends of each bank of portable toilets throughout the Festival venue.
