Coca-Cola Arena has implemented a multilayered approach to safeguarding fans attending live events. The key highlights of Coca-Cola Arena’s VenueShield protocol include enhanced cleaning procedures, social distancing in place across queuing, seating and concourse areas, and disinfectant fogging machines used across the facility.
