THIS IS FOR THOSE COMING FROM EAST OF I-77 THAT WOULD USE I-480 WEST
For those of you who are traveling from the East and would normally take I-480 WEST to I-77 SOUTH, you are unable to do this as ODOT is working on the bridge deck at that interchange. The best advice is to look at Google Maps, Waze, Apple Maps, etc. and use the address of 14713 Ridge Rd, North Royalton, OH 44133 to get to the school. If you are coming from the West, North or South this will not apply to you.
Please make sure that you plan ahead and accordingly due to traffic and any other construction between your location and the school.
$11.00 Adults, $5.00 Students on the day of the meet at the North Ticket Gate (See Facility Map #1). Tickets can be purchased online at the OHSAA Website: www.ohsaa.org/tickets. The South Ticket Gate (See Facility Map #2) is only for those that have already purchased a ticket. No tickets will be sold at this gate.
Gates will open at 3:45pm to spectators on BOTH DAYS of the competition.
Re-Entry will be allowed ONLY with valid hand stamp, otherwise a new ticket will need to be purchased.
The officials assigned for the Regional Championships will be using fully integrated electronic starting devices for our races. The sound emanated from the speakers is directed to the athletes and, therefore, may not be heard in the stands.
The electronic starting device used meet all NFHS competition regulations as well as OHSAA regulations related to the amplification of sound. The sound used at the meet will be a tone similar to that used in swimming.
Thank you for being quiet at the start of each race to help ensure fair competition.
Various concession items will be available for purchase by both cash and credit card.
Regional Track & Field Championships merchandise will also be available.
Spectators within the stadium should stay in the bleachers (Home or Visitor side) or along the fence around the outside of the track. At no point are spectators allowed INSIDE the black fence which is considered a competition area. Failure to comply will result in removal from the facility with no refund given.
Spectators wishing to watch the Shot Put or Discus may make their way to the throws area (See Facility Map #14 and #15). You may enter at either the North or South gate but upon exiting the facility you must get a hand stamp to show you have already paid. Failure to do so may result in you having to purchase another ticket.
Should the instance arise that the meet needs to be delayed due to inclement weather (lightning/thunder). Spectators will be asked to leave the stadium (including rest rooms) and make their way to their personal vehicles until such time that the weather has cleared and the stadium can be opened back up for athletes, coaches, officials and spectators. The "30 Minute Rule" shall apply.
Competition shall not be resumed until at least 30 minutes after the last flash of lightning or clap of thunder. Any subsequent lightning or thunder after the beginning of the 30 minute count shall reset the clock and another count shall begin.
Meet Management, Meet Referee and Athletic Trainer will closely monitor the conditions and work on updating the time schedule and communicating an "all clear".
Spectators shall not enter North Royalton Middle or High School as those areas are for athletes and coaches only.
