Please remember access is only available via the doors on Level D within the Gate 6 hub and not through the glass doors at the back of the seating bay. This is done in order to monitor the capacity of the room. High Mark members exiting the venue during the game are reminded that they can only scan out of the venue via the same gate they entered (gate listed on Mobile Membership Card).
