TIFTON — Tift County High School has updated regulations for fans at football games.

A release posted to social media Thursday issued rules for entering and leaving the stadium on game nights.

Fans purchasing general admission tickets can only use certain sections of the stadium. If they purchase tickets at the north gate, they must stay in sections E and F (silver section). Those purchasing at the south gate will stay in the blue section, sections A and B.

Students in elementary and middle school must be accompanied by a parent or guardian when they enter the stadium. Elementary school students must sit with their parents or guardians and if they visit the restroom or concession stand, they must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Middle school students do not have to sit with a parent or guardian.

Running and playing in the stadium is not allowed.

Those holding reserved tickets may enter at any stadium gate on the home side. Reserved tickets must be shown to enter that section and fans sitting there will have their hands stamped upon entry.

No entry to Brodie Field will be allowed after the end of the third quarter. Once fans leave the stadium, they will not be allowed to return. “When you leave the game, you leave the game,” the press release stated. School administrators and police officers will be posted at the entry gates

Fans are not permitted on the field at any time during the game, including to walk from one side of the stadium to the other. Field access is prohibited for guests after the game, a policy that went into effect in 2020.

Students in violation of the rules will be disciplined per the Tift County Student Code of Conduct. Rule violations by fans could result in a ban from attending all other high school events during the 2021-22 school year.
