Please respect the following rules and guidelines for Gateway Park:

• No food or beverages (other than water) are allowed inside the playing enclosures. There is a large concourse area between the pitches that is the designated food and beverage pavilion (see map above). Please inform all players and supporters about these restrictions and don’t abuse the City’s field monitors for politely telling you to throw away your food and beverage as you near the fields – they are only doing their jobs.
• No aluminum studs are allowed on the fields. Molded cleats are preferred but rubber screw-in cleats are acceptable. Any type of standard, cleated athletic shoes are safe for play in all weather.
• For tournament and championship events, team warm-ups will require some planning. While not maintained competition-level fields, there is plenty of usable warm-up space to accommodate all teams. When the scheduled matches are on a very tight schedule, each team needs to plan on arriving well-before start times to find parking, check-in, complete a full warm-up and make the short walk to the pitches to begin their matches on time. Please refer to the above map of the facility to familiarize yourself with its lay-out.

Other important information about Gateway Park:

• Bleacher seating is limited for fans and the entire park is completely paved. Spectators will be given seating preference for the bleachers and will be asked to watch matches from the near sides of the field. Player benches will be set-up along the far sidelines for use by teams during matches.
• The surface temperature of the fields may get quite warm. Expect the bottoms of a ruck to be 10°-20° hotter than the air temperature, and be sure to have lots of water on the sidelines.
• No tents will be allowed to be set-up inside the park perimeter. If your team plans on bringing one, it will have to be set-up in the wooded areas to the east of the fields and the main parking lot.
