Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Where will we pray?
    We will pray on the field of Angel Stadium, on the grass.  You should bring a prayer rug as there will not be paper rolls on the ground.
  2. Why are stadium entry tickets required?
    For our security, the stadium has asked the organizers to require entry tickets.  Each person must have a ticket to enter the stadium, and tickets should be purchased from the masjid offices of ICOI, IIOC, and ISOC.  Tickets cannot be obtained online.
  3. Will tickets be sold at the stadium?
    YES.  There will be a separate line for individuals to purchase tickets before entering the stadium.  We do encourage you to pre-purchase your tickets from your masjid.
  4. Are bags allowed into the stadium?
    All people will have to pass through security and bag check upon entry in the stadium.  To speed the process, we recommend not bringing bags to the stadium.  If you do need to bring bags, clear bags are recommended.
  5. I need to sit during prayer, are there any chairs available?
    Yes, we will have a limited number of chairs available during the prayer on the field. We ask that all chairs remain at the outer perimeter of the prayer space.  Handicap-friendly field access is available via the tunnels.
  6. Are there any facilities for Wudhu?
    There are washrooms within the stadium accessible from Gate 1 right beside the prayer location.

    Parking is free and plentiful at the stadium.  It is a short walk from the parking areas to the prayer area. We recommend a $10 donation to cover expenses.

    Yes we have made accommodation for vehicles with disabled badges and a drop off point, please enter the Angel Stadium from Orangewood and follow directions by the parking attendants.
  9. Why is prayer starting so early?
