Current MSHSL Spectator Guidelines for Athletic Events
This Fall of 2020 has most certainly looked and felt different in the sports world. At Eastview, our goal for our athletic teams this year continues to be: We want to do the best we can, as safely as we possibly can, teaching incredibly valuable life lessons as often as we can, having as much fun as we can, for as long as we possibly can. We know that the only way to accomplish this goal is through collaborative efforts of our athletes, coaches, event staff, officials and spectators. Using our motto of “Eastview Together” as inspiration, I really do believe this is something we can accomplish collectively as a community. We appreciate your assistance in advance in helping make these events a reality for our students.
Football: All football games are limited to a max of 250 spectators. Each team is allotted 120 with the home team having 10 additional for all media, college coaches etc. With the number of players on each level the available slots on the pass list are extremely limited and only available to family members of participating players. Due to current MDH and MSHSL guidelines there is no allowable congregating, specifically meaning no tailgating at any games and no group gatherings on campus. The only people allowed on campus during events (inside or outside the stadium) are people on the pass list. We appreciate in advance your assistance in following these regulations. We are working to provide a streaming option for as many contests as possible at all levels of competition.
Each booster club will be responsible for submitting their list of names in advance and no substitutions or walk-ups not on the approved pass list will be allowed entry. Several safety requirements have also been put in place.
- Masks are required to be worn by all spectators at all times
- All spectators must check-in at appropriate gate with ID. No fans allowed in earlier than 30 minutes before the game. All names must be on submitted list. No substitutions.
- No spectator access to the field area at any time
- Visiting fans will occupy the bleachers on the east side of the stadium (opposite the press box).
- Home fans will occupy the bleachers on the west side of the stadium (press box side)
- Lower level benches will also be on opposite sides of the field and fans should remain on their own side for those games as well.
- No concessions will be available, outside food/beverage allowed but no coolers
- Fans must sit a minimum of 6 feet apart from anyone not living in their household
- All players, coaches, fans must immediately exit the area at the conclusion of the contest
- No gathering or waiting in a group outside the stadium after the game. Please help with congestion by going directly to vehicles
- Players and coaches are also being asked to follow several additional safety precautions
Volleyball: Currently per MDH, MDE and MSHSL guidelines and due to the indoor nature of this activity in an educational space, no spectators will be allowed at volleyball matches this season. The only people allowed in the gym will be athletes, coaches, officials and "essential" workers such as table workers, site supervisor and officially approved team video and photo personnel. We are working to provide a streaming option for as many contests as possible at all levels of competition.
Huge thanks to all in advance for your cooperation, understanding and support of these policies and guidelines as we continuously work towards are goal of a safe and great experience for all of our participants. #EastviewTogether
