For a detailed list of rules and policies, visit the link titled, TOMBALL ISD STADIUM RULES & POLICIES below. This detailed list includes information regarding a lightning policy, media, booster groups, spectators, sideline passes, photography, and student seating.

The Texas legislature passed a new law (House Bill 114) that requires school districts to implement mandatory Disciplinary placement for students found in possession of, using, selling, giving, or delivering e-cigarettes on school grounds or at a school-related event, including at Tomball ISD Stadium. The law aims to address the growing concern of e-cigarette usage among students and promote a healthier, safer environment for all members of the school community.

Effective at the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year, our school district will be fully enforcing this new law. This means that any student caught violating the new law relating to e-cigarettes will be subject to immediate DAEP placement, as mandated by the state law.

To ensure visitor safety, along with quick and efficient entry into our event venues, Tomball ISD has instituted a Clear Bag Policy. This will limit the size and type of bag allowed at sporting events, performances, and graduations.

While Tomball ISD encourages visitors not to bring bags if possible, the following types of bags are permissible:

• Clear, plastic, vinyl or PVC bags
• Clear, plastic, one-gallon, resealable, Ziploc-style bags
• Clutch bags approximately the size of a hand (6”X 9” X 5”)
• Medically necessary items

Visitors who bring bags that do not meet the criteria outlined will not be permitted entrance into Tomball ISD Stadium.
