Site layout.
The entry arrangements for 2006 will be similar to 2005. Buses heading for the eastern arena will travel the length of the taxiway to get there and buses parking near the American Air Museum will use an entry gate further in to the site to avoid some of the congestion after the pay booths. Parking Reception will be before the Pay booth queue. See the site map.
