1. Gates open at 6pm. Kickoff is 6pm. Patrons should remain out of the stadium until that time.
a. We understand many patrons have physical limitations that make waiting in lines difficult. We
appreciate your efforts to comply with our game management procedures relating to Gate
Opening Times.
2. Friday’s Event is an NSAA Event. Please note the following:
a. The cost of admission to all NSAA postseason football contests is $8 for adults and $6 for
students.
--No passes will be accepted. This includes BHS-issued student activity passes, family
passes, EMC Passes, etc…
b. We’ve received concerns about the language heard in reaction to events during home football
games on our video streams. Please know that as a spectator at our events, you represent our
community and our school. We strongly urge all patrons to refrain from reacting to a high school
sporting event in a way that negatively impacts our school’s reputation.
--The camera and mic are mounted on the face of the Press Box at the 50 yard line. If you
are seated near the Press Box, your commentary may be picked up on the live stream.
-- Sound can be disabled. Should concerns continue to arise, administration will consider this option.
--We reserve the right to remove patrons who react in unacceptable ways at our subjective discretion.
Finally, I wanted to reiterate the reminders shared with the community prior to our first home football contest this year. Any assistance you can provide in helping us meet these expectations is greatly appreciated.
