Service Animals:
At GLC Live at 20 Monroe, we have specific guidelines to ensure all guests and their service animals are supported throughout their visit.
Service animals are defined by the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) as dogs or miniature horses that are trained to do work to perform tasks related to people with disabilities. The work or task the service animal is trained to do must directly relate to the person's disability. Service animals must be housebroken. Service animals are required to behave and not repeatedly bark, growl, jump up on or lunge at other guests or employees. Corrective action must be taken if the service animal is not behaving appropriately.
Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Comfort animals, emotional support animals, and therapy dogs are not listed as service animals under Title III of the ADA. This also applies to the other species of animals wild or domestic, trained, or untrained. The ADA requires the service animal to be under the control of the handler. This may include using a harness, leash, or other tether. Our venue employees are not required to provide for, the care, or supervision of a service animal, including cleaning up after it. Service Animals must remain on the floor and are not allowed on dining chairs or tables in our food and beverage locations. Live Nation and our operating partners have the right to deny access to a dog that disrupts our operations.
Please contact a member of the guest services team if your service animal needs access to a relief area. You will need to exit the venue and re-enter with the assistance of a member of the guest service team.

Sensory Items:
The following are available in a sensory kit:
- Wiggle Seat: A specially designed wiggle seat helps calm and focus while allowing those using it to quietly move while working, enabling them to stay on task and be more productive. The sensory cushion is an outlet for excess energy.
- Lap Pad: Super soft fleece weighted Lap Pads are sensory tools that offer deep calming pressure; increasing the ability to focus, relieving anxiety and stress. It gives those with the wiggles a comforting sense of security and has a relaxing effect on the body and mind. Soothing dual textures alleviate excess energy, decrease restlessness, relieve stress and import attentiveness.
- Noise Cancelling Headphones: World-class noise cancelling headphones will allow for a better listening experience in any environment. They feature a noise-rejecting, dual mic system for clear sound and voice pick up. The balanced audio performances can be played at any volume and includes cable-free Bluetooth pairing.
- Fidget Toy/Pop-It's: These toys provide external stimuli to focus and an outlet for pent-up nervous energy. Pop-It fidget toys also help to relieve anxiety and stress by providing something to keep your hands busy, which are the most visibly affected body part in stressful situations.
- Strobe Cancelling Glasses: The Connection between eyes, brain, and body plays a very important role in how we react to stimulants. The use of the glasses can allow for a better ability to focus, remove light sensitivities, and can improve your balance.
- Verbal Cue Cards: These cards allow communication without words which can be used with those who struggle with language or need visual aid.
- Disinfectant Wipes: Keep the items clean before and after use with disinfectant wipes included in the sensory bag.
- Tote Bag: The zippered tote bag is ideal for carrying sensory items. The tote is sturdy enough to carry the 5lb. lap pad and large enough to hold the wiggle seat and other items.
