**Rules, Regulations, Hints, and Tips throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic (Updated for Phase 4)**

Arrive early to ensure a parking spot. Our maximum capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic will only be 400 vehicles as opposed to the regular 750 vehicles. Our Box Office opens no later than 6:30 PM during business days. However, once the lines at the entrance reach the road, we must open earlier in an effort to eliminate traffic congestion.

You must stay within the confines of your vehicle as much as possible. You may lay in the bed of your truck or in the back of a van. You may also sit in front of your vehicle. However, if you must get up and move around and/or enter the bathrooms or Concession Stand, you must be wearing a facemask.

You can purchase admission at our Box Office, however, ticket stubs will NOT be returned at Box Office in an effort to restrict any possibility of cross-contamination.

All employees have been educated and trained on the need for personal sanitation and hygiene as well as the sanitation of our facility. All employees must wash their hands at least every 15-20 minutes and must wear/change gloves and facemasks frequently.

Only one vehicle will be allowed to park between Two speaker poles. This will allow for a social distancing space of approximately 12’ to 16’.

We recommend bringing your own radio from home if you wish not to use your vehicle’s radio. We currently rent radios for $5.00 and a photo ID and our speakers on the poles will now be turned on.

Our bathrooms in the concession stand will be open. There will be plenty of hand soap and sanitizer on hand. We have a strict and consistent sanitation process for all bathrooms.

Our concession stand is open to the public. Please adhere to the social distancing guidelines taped to the floor and please wear your mask.

There will be 2 exterior handwashing stations located near the concession stand/restrooms if needed.

We are asking that, wherever possible, you please police yourselves when it comes to parking. We are not enforcing the traditional parking rules of large vehicles parking next to a red-colored pole or small vehicles parking next to a silver-colored pole. It is impossible for us to enforce considering that all vehicles will be parked in the middle of 2 speaker poles and not beside one. If you cannot see, there will be plenty of spots to move to consider that we are only utilizing less than half of our property by only allowing 400 vehicles admittance as opposed to the usual 750 vehicles.
