We welcome assistance dogs , as defined by the Equality Act 2010, who can provide support to their owners in what is likely to be a busy, crowded and loud environment.
However, if the dog is not kept under control or appears to be distressed in the environment, we would be required to ask for the dog to be removed from the area and would look, where possible, to provide alternate seating.
We ask, where possible, that if you need to bring an assistance dog with you to the Stadium , you inform us prior to the event, this assists with our planning to ensure we best assist you when you come to the event. Please contact us via our Help Centre.
The Equality Act 2010, (section 173) states that in relation to protecting the rights of disabled people accessing private hire transport, an Assistance dog means (a)a dog which has been trained to guide a blind person;(b)a dog which has been trained to assist a deaf person;(c)a dog which has been trained by a prescribed charity to assist a disabled person who hasa disability that consists of epilepsy or otherwise affects the person’s mobility, manualdexterity, physical coordination or ability to lift, carry or otherwise move everyday objects;(d)a dog of a prescribed category which has been trained to assist a disabled person whohas a disability (other than one falling within paragraph (c)) of a prescribed kind.
