Clune Arena recently completed upgrades to its ADA access features, including fully operational stairs and ramps for fans attending athletic events.
For those attending games who do not have Department of Defense identification cards, new procedures require obtaining a monthly visitor pass to enter the U.S. Air Force Academy grounds instead of submitting requests for each event individually. After registration online using information from one’s driver’s license, visitors receive instructions to present upon arrival along with their tickets.
