PSA from Paris ISD regarding this year’s football season.
This Friday the Wildcats will host Metro Christian Academy for their first regular-season varsity home game. The Wildcats are appreciative of the University Interscholastic League (UIL) and the work they have put into making sporting events possible with guidelines in place. The Wildcat coaching staff, varsity football players, band members, blazettes, varsity cheerleaders, and cat gut will make every effort to follow those guidelines closely throughout this year’s football season.
It is our goal to keep our students, staff, and fans safe. To ensure that this happens, the following procedures have been put in place.
· All ticket sales for athletic events will be through GoFan.co. The GoFan.co link will be available on our district website and Facebook page. You may also download the GoFan.co app on your phone. Games are only open for purchase the week of each home game. All tickets are a general admission ticket with no reserved seating available. There will also be no cash sales for tickets at the gate. Once we reach 50% capacity of the facility, all sales will end.
· Each week of a home varsity football game, priority ticket sales for parents of Friday night participants will open on Monday and previous season ticket holders on Tuesday. All reaming tickets will be available to the public starting on Wednesday.
· Paris ISD will provide live streaming for our home varsity football games on YouTube. The link will be shared on our district website as well as our district Facebook page (@parisisdwildcats) once we get it going.
· Due to the 50% capacity rule, passes will not be honored this year. Those who typically get into games with passes are encouraged to purchase their tickets online starting Wednesday of the week of a home game.
· Fans are asked to do a self-screening prior to coming to the stadium. Temperatures will be checked at the gate. If anyone has been exposed to someone with COVID-19 or show any symptoms, they are asked to stay at home and watch the live stream footage on our YouTube channel.
· Masks must be worn at all times, unless seated and safely social distanced from others.
· There will be no admittance onto the field at any time unless a field pass is shown.
· There will not be a student section at this time. All students are asked to sit with their family.
Please know and understand that we will do everything that we can to ensure that all fans, staff and student participants are safe during this pandemic. We ask that if you are not comfortable following these guidelines that you not attend tonight’s game.
