Dragon Stadium Guidelines

Dragon Stadium Guidelines – JHS

New clear bag policy

Johnston Community School District will be implementing a clear-bag policy at all games held at Dragon Stadium. This means that regular backpacks or other bags will NOT be allowed past stadium gates. All bags brought into the stadium must be clear, to improve safety at the stadium and make it easier for our people checking bags at the gate.

The change will be required and the policy will be enforced at the homecoming game on Friday, September. 23. We believe this new policy is a step toward increasing safety. Thank you for your flexibility and we apologize for any inconvenience.

Entrance & Tickets:

We have new online ticketing this year, and specific gates that should be used for entry into the stadium, depending on the kind of ticket or pass you have. And once you leave, re-entry into the stadium is not allowed. Please read the information below carefully for details.

Tickets are $6 per person for school age students and older. Students in grades K-5 must be accompanied by an adult.

Seating for Students & Spectators:

Students in grade 6-12 are expected to sit in the assigned student sections or with a parent. Students in Grade K-5 must sit with a parent.

Students will have the ability to visit the concession stand and restrooms, however at the end of their visit they must return to their seat. Students will not be allowed to hang out in the concourse or grassy areas.

Parents and other spectators should sit on the upper bleacher sections, to avoid intermingling with student sections. The lower half of the bleachers will be reserved for student sections, and will be roped off. Spectators that need accommodations will be allowed to use the elevator for assistance getting to the upper level, and additional seating for wheelchairs is at the top of the lower bleacher section.

Additional Reminders:

• No outside food or drink
• No alcohol, tobacco, vapes, etc.
• No weapons including guns, knives, etc.
• No re-entry to stadium (spectators will not be allowed to leave and return, including going to car mid game or halftime) ** in the event of an emergency situation, please speak with an administrator at the front gate**
• No balls, skateboards, scooters, etc.

We appreciate your assistance and attendance at games. Due to the large number of attendees, it is important that we enforce the procedures above to ensure our staff and workers can monitor the environment to keep everyone safe.  School administrators will be reviewing these procedures with students prior to Friday night. We would ask parents/guardians to partner with us and review these guidelines with your child(ren).
