New Stadium
All of the exterior stadium gates have been re-labeled in an effort to make the way-finding more intuitive. Previously, gates were labeled as A-H.  We have re-named the gates based on direction. As an example, what was formerly Gate G is now the South Gate and the former Gate C is now the North Gate.
