Events Accessibility Options
Accessible Seating
The Petersen Events Center was designed with guests with disabilities in mind. In standard basketball setup, there are accessible seats in sections 101–105, 107, 109, 124–126, L206, L210, L213–L216, L219–L223 and 224. There are a limited number of wheelchairs available for guests, which are offered only as a staff-assisted transport from the entrance gates to the seat location.
Animals
Only pets serving as guide, signal, or service pets to aid guests with disabilities, and animals that are an integral part of the approved show, are permitted. Guests bringing in service animals may only use the adjacent seat if a ticket has been purchased for that seat. They may also request accessible seating where there is more room in front of their seat for the service animal.
Assisted Listening Devices (ALD)
An ALD is a wireless RF-style headphone that a guest can wear to amplify whatever is being broadcast on the sound system. Guests may obtain an ALD, at no charge, at Guest Services by leaving a photo ID.
Guest Drop-Off
A drop-off site for people with disabilities is available on Terrace Street, which is the lobby side of the building. Lobby elevators go to every floor for guest seating.
Sign Language
Guests with hearing disabilities must make advance arrangements with SMG to provide sign language interpreters for an event.
Parking
All lots have accessible parking spaces and most are located close to the building. Guests with physical disabilities can enter at any entrance.
