Accessible seats can be filtered on Ticketmaster, and the concert site says Upper Hearst at Hearst Avenue and Gayley Road has the best path, about one fairly level block, with a curbside drop-off on Gayley Road just north of the entrance. Cal Performances instead calls the Stadium Parking Structure the closest accessible public lot, about 0.2 miles and slightly uphill, so the pages do not name the same closest option. UC Parking and Transportation says the path from Foothill Lot includes stairs and is not wheelchair accessible, and UC Disability Access and Compliance places the accessible entrance on the north side via switchback ramps.
