No students from other schools are allowed to attend on double header game nights, unless accompanied by a parent/guardian.

For schools without student IDs, the athletic directors will coordinate a plan for their students to be able to attend the game.

Spectator Rules: 

1. CLEAR BAG POLICY. To provide a safer environment for the public and expedite fan entry into our athletic facilities, The Penn Hills School District has implemented a protocol that limits the type of bags that may be brought into our venues.  Exceptions to this policy will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection.  
   1. PERMITTED BAGS INCLUDE (one per person):
      1. Bags that are clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC.  This includes clear backpacks, clear fanny packs and clear cinch bags. 
      2. No buckles, grommets/hardware or decor can be concealing any part of the bag.
      3. One-gallon clear plastic freezer bags (Ziploc bag or similar).
2. All spectators will pass through metal detectors and/or be wanded by security before entering the school.
3. NO ADMITTANCE AFTER HALFTIME (end of halftime). The gates will be closed and no spectators will be permitted to enter after halftime ends, even if they pre-purchased a ticket. Fans who are already in line will be permitted to enter. 
4. NO RE-ENTRY at any time. 
5. No smoking or vaping on school property.
