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.

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.
