Change in Venue Logistics for Teams in State Football Day 2

December 4, 2021 Football Working

After Continual Review, Team entry has been revised for Saturday, December 4. THE PRIMARY CHANGE INVOLVED ONLY THE ENTRY OF INDIVIDUALS WITH THE TRAVELING TEAM OFFICIAL PARTY FOR THE HOME TEAMS.

All Home teams (Belfry, Frederick Douglass, and Male) will have the team entry in the area around Gate 9 for the team and team equipment. See the diagram at https://khsaa.org/football/2021/khsaateamspaces.pdf. The team will unload with the equipment coming in the large gate closest the field gate 9, and the individual team members and cheerleaders will enter through gate 9.5. The home teams will use locker rooms 2 and 1 as scheduled.

The visiting teams (Paducah Tilghman, South Warren, and St. Xavier) will continue to unload at Gate 1 on the opposite side of the stadium, with individual entry at Gate 1.5. See the diagram at https://khsaa.org/football/2021/khsaateamspaces.pdf. The team will unload equipment at the large gate at 1, with individual team members in through gate 1.5. The visiting teams will use locker rooms 3 and 4 as scheduled.

These revisions have been made due to the desire of the venue events team and our office to adjust as necessary. This change should ensure a smoother flow into the venue that like most, wasn’t built for consecutive games to be played with locker room space. In addition, this should reduce some of the bottlenecks that occurred yesterday at Gate 1 when the changeover between games occurs.

Band entry will continue to be through gate 1.5 as originally planned and there is no change in ticket entry for patrons holding electronic

General Admission tickets outside of the club areas will continue to be at gates 2, 4 and 9.

Suite holders and club seating will all come in through the Commonwealth Tower Lobby only.

Any ticket resolution issues will continue to be addressed at the Helpful Huts at gates 4 and 9.
