The Access Key contains colour photos, supportive text, maps and sensory guides that outline the sensory elements of experiences.  

It also includes details about the most convenient accessible parking, entry points, stadium layout and amenities, plus athletic events available and their overall wellbeing and therapeutic benefits.
