Information for Spectators:
Food We have a great concession stand on both the home and away side of the stadium. We will also have food trucks outside of the stadium gates. Re-entry is allowed with a wristband that you will receive as you enter the first time with your digital ticket. We will also have several other apparel vendors on site selling SCBDA State Championship shirts as well as other apparel.
Lexington One School District has a CLEAR BAG policy. We also ask that you not use umbrellas in the stands while groups are performing so that you do not block the view of the performing bands. Handicap seating is also available on a first come first serve basis at the top of the stands.
Spectator parking will be at entrance B. We have limited handicap spaces available if needed. There are two parking lots right beside the stadium and then we have two fields available for overflow parking. Parking at River Bluff is limited so carpooling is encouraged for spectators.
