Guidelines for Attending Varsity Athletic Events in District 196

We appreciate your continued support and want to remind you of a few important district practices that apply to all sporting events, including hockey. These measures ensure a safe, respectful, and enjoyable environment for everyone:

Arenas and gyms must be cleared 15 minutes after the end of the game to allow for proper clean-up and preparation for the next event.
No large backpacks or bags are allowed in the arena/gym. Please note that all purses and small handbags are subject to search upon entry.
No re-entry policy: Once a guest leaves the facility, they will not be re-admitted.
No entrance at halftime, even with a purchased ticket.
Students younger than high school age must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or adult caretaker who will be responsible for them throughout the event.
No access to the playing surface is permitted at any time by non-participants, including after the game.
All MSHSL Spectator Expectations will be followed to promote positive and respectful behavior.

Thank you for understanding and helping us uphold these practices for the benefit of all spectators and participants. Your cooperation ensures that our events run smoothly and safely.

Guidelines for Attending Varsity Football Games in District 196

High School Students:

Students must purchase a ticket and present their high school ID to attend.
Home team students are required to sit on the home side of the stadium.
Students from the visiting team or any other high school must sit on the visitors' side.

Elementary and Middle School Students:

Students younger than high school age must purchase a ticket and be accompanied by an adult (parent/guardian/caretaker) who will supervise them throughout the game.
It is strongly recommended that these students sit with their supervising adult to ensure a positive experience.
Inappropriate behavior will require a child to sit with their supervising adult and could forfeit their ability to attend future games.

Additional Game Expectations:

No entry will be permitted at the end of the 2nd Quarter, and there is no re-entry if you leave the stadium.
