Tailgating is never allowed on Riverbend's property or the surrounding lots. This includes drinking alcoholic beverages, which is not permitted under Ohio law. It also includes grilling out, which creates a safety concern and disrupts foot and auto traffic flow. Additionally, games or any other activities that may obstruct or distract traffic are prohibited. Management appreciates your cooperation.

Gates Open

Parking
Ample parking is available in all surrounding lots labeled event parking. Parking cost is included in the price of the ticket. See our Directions and Parking page.
