We are excited for the upcoming Homecoming Football Game between your Northfield Nighthawks and the Pueblo East Eagles on Friday, Sept. 20, at 6 p.m., at Evie Dennis. The game is intended as a Northfield and Pueblo East event only; high school students who are not current students of these two schools will not be admitted.
For the safety and enjoyment of all spectators, ticket sales to the HoCo football game are limited and sold online only. We do expect the game to sell out quickly.
Participating student-athletes (football players, cheerleaders and poms participants), as well as the first 150 Northfield students involved with Flight Crew, have reserved tickets. Flight Crew is a new, student-run club intended to grow the Northfield student section at sporting events to support a positive spectating environment and empower student-athletes. All students are eligible to join Flight Crew. Flight Crew meets weekly to discuss upcoming events and organize positive cheers. Please contact club sponsors to learn more about Flight Crew.
Participating student-athletes have the opportunity to purchase up to four tickets using a unique link/specific passcode; this link/passcode will be provided by coaches. The deadline to purchase these reserved tickets is Tuesday, Sept. 17, at 12 p.m. Any remaining tickets will be reallocated to general admission ticket sales.
Current Northfield students who are not participating in the game or as one of the 150 Flight Crew members, have the opportunity to enter a ticket lottery to receive free entry to the event. Students must use their DPS-issued email address to enter the lottery. The lottery is now open and closes Monday, Sept. 16, at 8 a.m. 300 Northfield students will be selected at random from the lottery. Students will receive communication whether they won a free ticket or not, by Monday, Sept.16, at 3 p.m. Selected students will receive their digital ticket from GoFan through their DPS-issued email address.
Students who are not awarded a ticket as part of the lottery, families of eligible student-athletes who would like additional tickets and community members can purchase tickets to the game as part of general admission sales beginning Wednesday, Sept. 18, at 4 p.m via GoFan. Tickets are only sold online and are not available for purchase at the gate/stadium. Student-athlete stickers are not accepted at the door.
Fans are encouraged to arrive early due to limited parking in the area. The stadium is property of Denver Public Schools; no tailgating in the parking lot is permitted. Stadium gates will open at 5 p.m. All spectators and bags are subject to search and weapons detection; only clear bags are allowed in the stadium. Northfield students must show their physical school ID at the gate to enter the game; screenshots and live images of Infinite Campus do not count as an ID.
Northfield spectators will sit on the west side of the stadium, and Pueblo East spectators on the east side; spectators are restricted to these designated areas. If students are suspected of being under the influence or in possession of drugs or alcohol, parents/guardians will be called immediately to pick up. Disciplinary action will follow DPS policies. Game attendees must commit to working toward a positive atmosphere. Any negative language or behavior may result in ejection. Spectators are asked to exit the stadium promptly following the game.
