Dayton ISD releases COVID-19 guidelines for athletic seasons

With the start of fall sports, Dayton ISD’s athletics department has devised a set of guidelines the district hopes will keep people safe as they attend games.

If you are planning to attend, take note of these important changes:

BRONCO FOOTBALL STADIUM

The Bronco football stadium is being limited to 50 percent capacity at this time. Masks must be worn at all times by all fans aged 10 and older except when eating or drinking. Social distancing rules must be observed.

Groups are asked to maintain a distance of at least six feet from other groups at all times. A group is defined as no more than 10 people, including members of the same household and those persons who traveled to the game together.

Minors aged 14 and younger will not be allowed into the games without a supervising adult. If a student arrives without an adult, they should be ready to present their student ID. If the student is under the age of 14 and purchased a ticket, no refund will be given.

Children 14 and younger are to sit with their families unless traveling to restrooms or concessions, and should immediately return to their family upon completion of these tasks.

All fans are to self-screen for COVID-19 prior to entering the stadium. Fans must sit in the stands. Loitering around the fence will not be allowed.

No outside food or drinks will be allowed in the stadium. There will be no reentry into the stadium when a person leaves. There will be designated home and visitor entrances. Tickets will not work if entering the wrong gate. The gates will be clearly marked.

Reserved seating for the 2021 football season will be based off the 2019 reserved ticket seating chart.

Fans will not be allowed on the field or near the dressing room areas.

For tickets for away games, please check the Dayton ISD Athletic website.
