THE MAIN ENTRANCE: The entrance will be a place for fans to hang out with friends, support our troops and win prizes through a variety of interactive activities.

Military Care Package Tent - Spectators are encouraged to visit the Military Care Package Tent where they can build care packages to send to troops deployed overseas. Thanks to the incredible support from our fans, last year the AT&T National sent 5,880 care packages to troops overseas and raised more than $3,000 in donations. Since inception of the Care Package program at the 2009 AT&T National, the tournament has delivered more than 30,000 care packages to our troops.

Michelob ULTRA Grove - Spectators can enjoy a wide variety of food and beverage items for purchase including an array of Anheuser-Busch products. Outdoor seating is available for spectators to enjoy the summer weather.

These displays allow fans to practice their swing and enhance their putting skills.

Also, as part of AT&T's "It Can Wait" campaign and anti-texting-while-driving efforts, AT&T will have a simulator onsite to demonstrate the risks of texting behind the wheel. A computerized software system used within a real stationary car, the simulator gives drivers a safe way to learn about the dangers of texting and driving.
