The following is a message from the Administrative and Athletic Team at Southwest Parke:
We are super excited to host community-centered events to bring our Panther Nation together and unite our amazing communities. We are hopeful for a large attendance at all home football games this year as we support our Panthers and cheer them on to victory. We are asking for your help as we protect the safety of all fans - young, old, and everyone in between.
There has been a growing number of unsupervised youth running around the football stadium during games. This becomes especially problematic near and around the concession and restroom area as this is a high traffic area for all fans. While we LOVE to see the young Panthers eager for their day on the field, we have unfortunately experienced hazards as a result of this unsupervised play. We ask that all fans attend and actively watch the game and cheer on our Panthers.
Please help us ensure that the younger Panther fans are supervised by their guardians throughout the contest. All of our mini Panthers need to refrain from playing and running near these high traffic areas of the concession stand, bleachers, and restrooms. Additionally, please keep footballs at home. We appreciate your support in ensuring safety and an enjoyable experience for all.
