Due to current circumstances, we will be asking a few things of our spectators at the football game this Friday, October 9th. Please be patient as we are trying our best to make this a great event for the students who are involved. Here are the things that we would like your support in accomplishing. 1. There will only be one entrance into the stadium. Use the entrance off Main St, only. We will be taking temps as cars come into the parking lot. The gate helpers will take temps inside the car as you come into the facility. Please have a mask on while you are having your temperature taken. 2. Home fans will be on the west side ( Press Box) of the stadium. They will have access to the concession stand and restroom facilities by the concession stand. 3. Visiting fans will be on the east side (Opposite of the Press Box) of the stadium. You will have 2 porta-potties located by the press box on the baseball field and we will have a concessions table set up on your side of the field 4. There will be hand sanitizer located on both sides of the field for fans to use. 5. We need to keep distance between the athletes and the fans, so there will be a rope as a barrier. Please do not cross the roped sections. 6. We encourage fans to bring their own lawn chairs for seating 7. If handicapped parking is necessary, please contact Lacey at 970-645-2411 by 5:00 pm on Thursday. You will be asked to provide your name and make of car and be given access to the parking on the west side of the field. There is limited parking at this location, so it will only be used for handicapped access. To reach this parking, you will have to drive across the burm on the North side of the school and around to the east side of the field. The entrance will be blocked, except for those who have called ahead. 8. We would like to keep large gatherings from happening on the field and in the area around the field following the game. Please try to maintain social distancing as much as possible. 9. We are trying to limit contact between our two communities. We feel like these precautions will allow us to accomplish this goal. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at gedson@weldonvalley.org. We are looking forward to a great day and the opportunity to watch our students compete.
