Children in grades eight and under will be admitted for free and are encouraged to take part in a drug free pledge at halftime. Youth must secure a complimentary ticket for the game.
Other key points about the game include:
Youth taking the drug free pledge will do so from the stands rather than on the field. This change was made as a safety measure.
