Q:Who can go to the chairs?

Anyone may access the chairs at any time. Until the spring of 2004, the Field of Empty Chairs was closed to public access without staff escort to protect the grass. Now that the grass has become more resilient to foot traffic, the area is open to the public 24 hours a day. The chains are still used and rotated to control access and egress in order to alleviate the wear on the grass in various areas. Grass will be roped off during the winter months – but available with staff escort to anyone.
