Is Ithaca College Athletics and Events Center open to the public?

Ithaca College Athletics and Events Center is a college/university track, so public access varies. Many campus tracks let the community run when teams aren't training — typically early mornings, evenings, and weekends during the school year, and more openly in summer — but some are gated or restricted to students and staff. Go outside of practice and event hours, look for posted community-use rules, and call the athletics department if you're unsure.

From the reviews

I've been to Ithaca alot in my highschool track career. They have a consession stand with a wide variety of food and an amazing indoor track to hold events. It's amazing there and has enough seating for everyone. It's a school I won't forget anda place I recommend you go to watch sports live.
