What to know for fans & parents: Construction / access: Road construction on Smith Valley Road affects nearby intersections (Averitt/Smith Valley closed to westbound onto Smith Valley; Woodmen Blvd/Smith Valley open to eastbound only). Plan your route accordingly — don’t get stuck on the wrong approach. No locker rooms: Locker rooms will NOT be provided — players should plan to arrive ready or use team-provided transport/plan. A grass warm-up field is available for teams playing the second game. Athletic trainer will be on site for all matches. Video set-up: If you plan to record, set cameras between the benches on the east side of the field. Rules & restrictions: No balloons, banners/posters, or shakers on sticks. No cowbells or similar noise devices. No live animal mascots. No “line-up” lanes crossing the playing area. No carry-in radios/tape decks. If you bring anything on the “not allowed” list, staff will ask you to remove it. Tie-break / weather / suspended games Overtime: Two 7-minute halves; if still tied, penalty kicks follow. Suspended games: If a game is called before becoming a regulation match (weather/darkness), it’s treated as suspended and resumed later per IHSAA rules. Quick fan checklist : Buy tickets online in advance (no cash at gate). Arrive early — plan for construction delays; for an 8:00 PM match aim to be in the lot by ~7:15–7:30 so you’re not scrambling. Bring only permitted signs/gear; leave noise devices at home. Bring layers — evening matches can cool off quickly. Encourage the team — Loud, positive support helps. Be respectful of officials and facility rules. Good luck Olympians!
