Bulldogs,
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen travel issues, the OPENGATE weapons detection system training personnel could not administer the appropriate training before tonight's home Bulldog Football game. We appreciate everyone's cooperation with the new entry procedures and look forward to using the new system soon.
NEW ENTRANCE PROCEDURES FOR BULLDOG FOOTBALL GAMES
Football season is underway in Oklahoma, and Altus High School is excited to host our first home game of the season on Friday night, September 6, 2024. To ensure a safe and welcoming environment at each contest, this season, all spectators will be required to pass through an OPENGATE weapons detection system before entering the stadium.
The state-of-the-art OPENGATE screening portal allows for quick entry and spectator privacy. Fans will only be asked to be searched if they set off the weapons detectors when walking through.
Three entrances will be available to spectators. Students, media with appropriate passes, and OSSAA/OCA pass holders will enter through the North Gate. The Northwest and Southwest ticket gates are open for all ticket holders and Altus Public School ID carriers. All other entrances into the stadium will be closed and secured.
All Altus High School students must present their student ID when purchasing tickets and/or entering the athletic event. Students are encouraged to sit in the AHS student section with their peers to watch, enjoy, and cheer for their Bulldogs.
Students in 8th grade and below are welcome to attend, however, they will only be permitted entrance into the event if they are accompanied by an adult. Children in 8th grade and below must sit with their parent/guardian for the duration of the event.
No loitering will be allowed on walkways, stairs, ramps, or outside the concession stands. Children cannot stand, climb, or play on the retaining walls. No running or throwing of objects will be allowed. Failure to follow these rules will lead to removal from the event and/or suspension from future events.
Anyone choosing to leave the contest early will not be permitted to re-enter.
We encourage all fans to arrive early and be ready to cheer our Bulldogs on to Victory!
