“It’s a big game,” parent Maurice Williams said. “It’s two public schools who got good records. Not having fans takes away from the game a little bit.”
He added, “I know a bunch of alumni who’d love to support and be there for their school, but you got to follow the rule.”
He was one of the few people inside of the game. The rules included extra security. Two parents or guardians per player were permitted into the game and tickets were not available online for purchase.
Anyone else who wanted to watch the game had to do it virtually, streaming on CPS’s Athletics YouTube page.
