Activities Admission Reminders:
This is a reminder that all students 6-12 will be required to show an ID before purchasing a ticket to all home games. We have updated this policy to reflect the 6th grade that is now at Liberty. Liberty and Evans Students will receive their IDs before leaving school Friday, August 30th.
Admission for all events is $7, pre-purchased tickets or a credit card at the gate is preferred. Cash will be accepted with exact change.
The Ottumwa Community School District has taken additional steps to enhance safety and security at school events. The updated safety and procedures plan was collaboratively developed in conjunction with the Ottumwa High School Administration, Evans Administration, Activities Staff, Security Staff, and the Ottumwa Police Department to ensure the safety of all attendees at school events.
Gate/Entry at Schafer Stadium:
No Student Re-Entry: Once students enter the event, they may not leave and re-enter for any reason. Any ID scanned more than once will be detected, and students will be prohibited from entering the event.
Evans/Liberty Students (6-9): Middle school students must sit in the designated area, unless with an adult. This section will be located on the west end of the home bleachers near the pavilion. Students must use home-side concessions and restrooms, returning promptly to their designated area.
Additional Entry Policies:
No outside food or beverages are allowed.
Backpacks or large bags are prohibited. Purses and small bags may be subject to inspection. Diaper bags, medical devices, and standard-size purses are allowed.
Your patience and cooperation as we work together in creating a great experience for everyone. Let's go Bulldogs!
