Parking will still be available in the usual areas: The fields in front of and beside the McDuffie County School System office, the parking lot beside the old gym, as well as the parking lot at the McDuffie Achievement Center. Secondary parking is also available at Thomson First United Methodist Church.
In addition to parking and foot traffic adjustments, fans will also notice a change in stadium lighting. New LED lights have been installed at The Brickyard that will better light the field. However, photosensitive fans should beware that at certain times during the game, such as after scoring drives, the lights will blink or flash to enhance a celebratory atmosphere. Anyone that may be negatively impacted by that strobing effect should be prepared to take proper precautions.
Beginning Aug. 26, children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult to attend a home football game. In addition, students are expected to be seated unless they are in line for concessions or visiting the restroom. Standing is prohibited in aisles and other areas that present safety issues. We appreciate your help and cooperation to ensure a safe and enjoyable football season.
