Fans are reminded that noise-makers of any kind are not allowed. No horns, megaphones, cowbells, or vuvuzelas are permitted. Also, no confetti bombs or signs are to be put in the ground. Signs and posters can be attached to the bleachers. Please remove anything that gets put up at the conclusion of the game.
Fair Haven will be considered the visiting team, thus our sideline will be across from the press box/large set of bleachers.
T-Shirts will be available. These are long-sleeved shirts, and the price is $30 each. Venmo, cash, or checks will be accepted.
Parking will be available on campus until the lots are full. There will also be off-campus parking and a shuttle to the campus. For safety purposes, it has been recommended to wait for the shuttle rather than try to cross four lanes of traffic on foot.

They did a fantastic job supporting each other, conquering fears, and taking in some incredible views along the way.
