The fall sports season is heading into high gear, and the Marion School District is reminding fans to abide by the district’s guidelines for attendance at athletic events.
Anyone attending Patriot athletic events should follow the following guidelines:
Fans/students are to adhere to all Marion School District and AAA Guidelines, policies, including the student dress code. Those choosing not to do so may be required to leave without a refund.
A clear-bag policy is in effect. Guest may carry a small clutch bag, Ziploc-style bags, or clear plastic bags measuring less than 12”x6”x12”. Prohibited items include purses bigger than a clutch bag, all backpacks (including clear backpacks), diaper bags, binocular cases, camera bags, computer bags, fanny packs and cinch bags, luggage of any kind, briefcases, large seat cushions that exceed 16”, and any seat cushions with pockets, zippers, compartments, or covers.
Preschool children and students in grades K-6 will not be allowed to attend games without adult (beyond high school age) supervision. Students in grades 7-12 must have a school ID to attend games. Students without an ID will be denied entry into the game.
Parents are responsible for their children; please keep small children with you.
Good sportsmanship should be displayed at all times. “Booing,” cursing, and/or offensive language or gestures are not allowed.
Students choosing to leave the event will not be allowed to re-enter.
Students are not to loiter in the restrooms, concession area, ramps, etc.
Fans/students are to sit on the side they enter. You will not be allowed to “roam” between the visitor and home sections.
No outside food or drink will be allowed in the venues.
Parents are responsible for transporting their children from the event in a timely fashion. Beyond 30 minutes of the event concluding, any student who has not been picked up will have their student ID confiscated and denied access to future events.
Like previous years, Marion will operate two concession stands during Friday night varsity football games throughout the season. The main concession stand is located behind the south end zone. The second stand will be operated out of the district’s food trailer, parked in the southwest corner of Southern Bancorp Stadium. The food trailer will be designated for use by students, while the main concession stand will be for adults. The menu will be the same at both concession stands.
