Any visiting high school students hoping to watch their team take on the Colerain Cardinals ― including tonight’s gridiron matchup with Fairfield ― need to show proof of enrollment.

Without that proof, high school students will not be permitted into the game at Colerain’s stadium, 8801 Cheviot Road. Kickoff is at 8 p.m.

According to Colerain High School Athletics via a press release from Fairfield City School District: “In an ongoing effort to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for our fans, the Colerain High School Athletic Department is implementing new procedures for Friday night football games. It is now mandatory for all students to present a proof of enrollment when entering the stadium.”

When attending the football game, Colerain has implemented the following procedures:

· Separate lines will be designated for students at each gate. Members of the Colerain administration team will verify all students as either Colerain or visiting team students.

· All middle school students must enter with an adult through the parent line and must remain with the adult during the duration of the game. Middle school students who are unaccompanied by an adult will not be allowed to enter.

· Students who are not enrolled at either Colerain or the visiting team will not be granted entry.

· Students not from Colerain or the visiting team who wish to attend will need approval through Colerain should contact either Athletic Director Matt Stoinoff at mstoinoff@nwlsd.org or Principal Erin Davisat edavis@nwlsd.org.

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at https://wearecolerain.org/sports/2021/1/26/tickets.aspx or cash at the gate.
