North Schuylkill to Allow "Home Fans" to Attend Sporting Events, No Public or Visiting Fans

North Schuylkill announced Wednesday that it would now be allow "home fans only" to fall sporting events.

North Schuylkill was one of the few school districts that made an early decision to ban all fans from attending sporting events.

The decision was discussed several times at board meetings by the district over the weeks prior to the start of the season.

Almost 2 weeks into the season since competition began, home fans will now be allowed to attend with certain restrictions starting Wednesday evening.

Not all fans will be able to attend but each participating athletes will be granted 2 vouchers to allow someone into their game.

Athletes will be receiving vouchers for their upcoming games this week. Vouchers enable the bearer to purchase a ticket to the event for $5. All spectators must use the lower parking lot for events. 

Vouchers must be filled out completely. Spectators will undergo a health screen/temp check at the gate, before being permitted inside. Spectators must sit in the seats assigned from their voucher and they must wear masks/face covering at all times, and practice social distancing.

At this time, visiting school fans or general public are not permitted. School grounds around the stadium are still off limits during events as well.
