The design concept attempts to create an urbane, festive environment that is colorful and fun. The "galleria" space is the key both to the functioning of the circulation within the whole facility and to the sense of festivity. There are two main entrances: one for valet parking and one for self-parking. Both are connected by the galleria. From the main entrance the galleria steps up two levels corresponding to the slope of the site and the spectator grandstand. Moving through the space under colorful banners, visitors can enter a 250-seat restaurant and bar to their right, or a betting lounge to the left. Escalators lead up to a second level which contains a small bar and a second betting room. A second flight of escalators leads to a third level. Off its lobby is another entrance; to the right is a 10,000 square foot International Room which displays the games on a 12- by 15-foot rear projection screen. To its left is a third betting lounge. The 4,800-seat grandstand is an unobstructed space 180 feet wide and spanned by exposed steel trusses 30 feet on center which cantilever 60 feet beyond to form the galleria and restaurant, and extend beyond as a sunshade. The focus of everything is the playing court - 180 feet long, 50 feet wide, 48 feet high, bright green, and lit to a level of 176 footcandles at the center court.
