The PVAs will be equipped with comfortable seating, surround sound, and uninterrupted live streaming of the games. Refreshments and snacks will be available for purchase, and local entertainment will be provided to make the event enjoyable for families and friends.

Adhering to Health and Safety Protocols

Attendance at the PVAs is free, but spectators must adhere to all health and safety protocols to ensure a secure environment. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult, and alcohol and smoking are strictly prohibited at the venues.

PVA Locations and Schedule

Attendees can expect various engaging activities at each PVA, such as live performances, a DJ, food vendors, and more. Spectators are encouraged to share their experiences on social media using the hashtag #PutYourHandsUp, wear their favorite team’s colors, and bring enthusiasm to their community.
