(Oklahoma City-AP) -- The Field of Empty Chairs at the Oklahoma City National Memorial will be open beginning tomorrow night for visitors over the Memorial Day weekend.

Visitors wishing to leave flowers or other memorials for the bombing's 168 victims will be able to do so throughout June.

The field was originally intended to be open at all times, but the memorial closed the area so it could regrow grass at the site.

The memorial will use the next month to see how the newly grown grass will hold up under foot traffic.

The field will be open 24 hours a day as long as weather permits.
