- Two Stage Clubs, designed mid-level in the stadium’s corners, will span multiple floors and are connected by a grand staircase that projects into the seating bowl

- The food hall concept carries the working title of 365 Experience and is modeled after the popular city market trend with multiple vendors operating under one roof.
