Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is an in-person attendance. Students will be dismissed at 1:05 pm.
Riverdale will be allowing 50 visiting fans from Morrison to attend the game. Each coach, football player, and cheerleader will be given 1 ticket to the game. Coaches will pass the tickets out to each player this week prior to the game. The valid tickets each have my signature on the back.
Here is their procedure:
50 Visiting fans will also be allowed. We ask that they enter through the pass gate entrance to the West (left) of the concession stand with an official ticket stamped by your school, print and sign your name on the waiver stating that you are not experiencing any symptoms of Covid-19 and continue down the stairs. We will ask that you sit on the track or mobile bleachers right behind your team bench on the far side of the field.
If someone can not attend, the link provided is a free live stream feed of the games:

We ask that you do not arrive more than 30 minutes prior to your first scheduled game time.
We will not be offering concessions, but there are vending machines with pop in the locker rooms. Bring any additional food/drink items you may need.
Masks are required by anyone who is participating, officiating, game day personnel or fans in the stands.

Football Game Attendance
The IDPH/IHSA have changed the mitigations for attendance to outdoor events. Events can now allow 20% capacity for their stadiums. Morrison’s capacity is 1500 so we are going to be allowed to have 300 people in attendance for our games. Currently we are going to be giving a select number of tickets to each football player, cheerleader, and pom pon. We also will be working on a student section for the games. Only those people with tickets will be allowed into the game and there will be no game day sale of tickets. MHS will not be changing an entry fee to anyone attending the game that receives a ticket from one of the groups mentioned above. If anything changes to how we will be moving forward to include a group of fans into the stadium I will pass it along.
Volleyball Attendance
Volleyball home games will be conducted the same as basketball games were this season. Each athlete will be allowed 2 people from their household to attend the games.
Freshman and Fresh-Soph parents the gate will open at 4:30 pm. Please enter the school through the pool ramp door and get the screening done in the cafeteria. Once your athlete has finished their last level of competition please exit the gym to allow the next set of parents in. Varsity parents may begin to arrive after 6:00 pm. Again enter through the pool ramp doors and proceed to the cafeteria for screening. Once the F/S game is over and those parents exit you will be allowed to enter the gym for your athletes game. The schedule is supposed to be Freshman at 5:00, F/S at 6:00, and Varsity at 7:00, however some nights the games run quick while others they run long. The starting times for F/S and Varsity will vary a little each week. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
