Information from Pioneer Public Schools regarding Friday Evenings Game: We are recommending masks, but are not requiring them during the game as long as social distancing can be maintained. However, we are asking that fans please wear masks to the concession stand and the restroom as we cannot maintain distancing at those times. Fan may bring chairs and sit on the track on your side of the field. We just ask that they please stay off of the grass which we will consider the field of play. Fans can sit basically endzone to endzone on the track, minus the area in front of the bleachers which we would reserve for your cheerleaders. Our band will be set up behind the south endzone. We are locating them there so they can maintain social distancing and it alleviates seating for our fans on the home side. Just did not want that to catch you off guard. We are asking all fans after the game to not linger on the field and to try to return to their cars in a timely fashion. Just trying to avoid large gatherings of parents on the field. Admission is $5 for adults and school aged students.
