To provide adequate physical distancing for spectators, BCSS is limiting attendance at football games. Each student-athlete has been given an opportunity to purchase two tickets per event. The marching band and cheerleaders were provided the same option. Visiting teams will also be given a two ticket per participant allotment. 

Each of our high school stadiums will be filled to about 25% capacity, which includes both the home and away team spectators. The week before the game, any unsold tickets remaining will be made available to the general for purchase. No tickets will be available for purchase at the gate the night of the game.

*If you have already purchased tickets, please see the guidelines below for spectators.

For those unable to attend the games in person, fans will have two ways to watch.
