Wayne Implements Extra Security for Football Clash with Springfield

Residents of Wayne are gearing up for an exciting showdown as Wayne High School prepares to take on Springfield in a hotly anticipated football game this October 3rd. The game promises to bring thrills and cheers, and, in light of past occurrences, extra security measures are being put into place to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable evening.

What You Need to Know

The action kicks off at 6 p.m. at the famed Heidkamp Stadium, with gates opening at 5 p.m. It’s important to note that tickets will only be available at the gate—there won’t be any online sales. So if you plan on attending, make sure to bring cash for your entrance!

Ticket Availability

Football fans can expect a limit on ticket sales for both home and visitor sections, which helps maintain a manageable crowd size. Here’s the breakdown:

  • 2,000 general admission tickets available for the home side.
  • 1,000 general admission tickets available for visitors.
  • 200 tickets set aside specifically for Wayne High School students.
  • 50 tickets for Weisenborn Junior High School students.

If you’re a high school student planning to attend, don’t forget to bring your current school ID. Weisenborn Junior High students will need to provide their student ID number at the gate. And just a friendly reminder: elementary school students can only enter the stadium if accompanied by an adult.

Seating and Side Regulations

As fans arrive, they will need to choose a side as either home or visitor. Once you’ve made your choice, switching sides will not be permitted during the game. This helps keep things organized and reduces confusion among the crowd.

Enhanced Security Measures

Last year’s game left quite an impression—albeit not the kind one would hope for—with an unfortunate altercation in the parking lot. Learning from that incident, extra law enforcement personnel will be present to keep a watchful eye during this year’s event. Additionally, extra lighting will be installed throughout the stadium parking lot and surrounding areas to ensure that everyone feels safe.

The importance of safety has been underscored by Superintendent Jason Enix, who has emphasized that the well-being of both communities is paramount. The extra measures being taken are all about enhancing the game-day experience, allowing fans to focus on the excitement of the game rather than worrying about safety concerns.

Future Game Considerations

The measures employed for this game may serve as a model for future rival games. If the enhanced security proves effective, it’s likely that similar protocols will be adopted down the line to ensure a positive atmosphere for everyone involved.

Start the Evening Right

With the early kickoff time at 6 p.m., attendees can enjoy the game while still having plenty of evening left to celebrate with friends and family afterward. The atmosphere at Heidkamp Stadium is sure to be electric, bringing both communities together for a night of high school football fun.

So gather your friends and family, grab those tickets at the gate, and come support your team! Everyone in Wayne is looking forward to a fantastic game under the lights with a sense of community, safety, and, most importantly, a good ol’ competitive spirit. Let’s make this game memorable for all the right reasons!
