Hier kann man in den Shop reinlaufen, sich draussen am Schalter Tickets kaufen oder einfach kurz reinlaufen, um von oben einen Blick auf das Stadium zu wagen.
Below you see the entrance to the parking area. You can also enter without a ticket if there is no game. Entrane is to the right and just tell the security that you wanna visit the gift shop only. Then follow the blue line on the street which leads you to Lot P close to the gift shop. Visit the gift shop, buy a ticket for the next game or just walk in to the stadium to have a look.
