Dear Bobcat Families & Staff, 

As we prepare to cheer on the Bobcats at the first Home football game, on Friday, August 29, at Bobcat Stadium, we would like to remind our families of our stadium rules. Our top priority is the safety and security of our community during district events. Police officers and district administrators from each campus will be on duty throughout the game. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

  • Demonstrate good sportsmanship. Respect players, coaches, officials, and fellow fans at all times.

  • All fans must remain in the stands unless visiting the concession stand or restroom.

  • Refrain from inappropriate language, negative chants, or disruptive behavior.

  • Follow directions from District administrators, staff, and security personnel immediately.

  • All spectators in middle school or below must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or responsible adult throughout the game. Please do not drop off your students at our home football games without an accompanying adult.

  • HMS students must have their school-issued ID badge visible at all times while on stadium grounds.

  • If a spectator leaves the stadium gates, they will not be allowed re-entry. If leaving the stadium, you must purchase another ticket to re-enter.

  • All students must remain in the stands throughout the game unless visiting the restroom or concession stand.

  • No spectators will be allowed on the field, sideline, or track at any time before, during, or after the game.

  • Anyone, not in uniform, on the sideline must have a district-issued sideline pass or a school district ID badge.

  • Students are not permitted to play, congregate, or run underneath the bleachers.

  • The Law prohibits firearms and weapons of any kind.

  • No animals or pets of any type are allowed in the stadium.

  • No smoking or tobacco use of any kind in or around the stadium.

  • No loitering in aisles, on the fence, walkways, or stairs is allowed. You will be asked to find a seat in the stands.

  • No outside food or drink is allowed. This does not apply to band, drill team, or cheerleaders.

  • No coolers or backpacks will be allowed in the stadiums.

  • District passes from either school will allow the cardholder and 1 other guest.

Bobcat students and fans who do not follow these expectations may be asked to leave the event and could lose the privilege of attending future games.

We appreciate your partnership in making our Bobcat Stadium events safe and enjoyable for all Bobcat Fans and Families. Please review these expectations with your child before attending any game. 

Thank you for helping us promote a positive and secure environment for our school community.
