BUFFALO, N.Y. (September 11, 2023) – "High school football is a time for fun and healthy competition, but it must be done in a safe environment. As a result, starting immediately, every player and cheerleader will be able to invite three student spectators to each home game, so we have a record of who is attending games. Minors must be accompanied by an adult. Adults are welcome to attend games with identification. All-High Stadium and Riverside High School will also have an Evolv security system installed; the gates will close 30 minutes after the start of each game; and loitering is not permitted during or after games. We will also explore expanding the live streaming of games so fans can watch them online. The Buffalo Public Schools continues to work with the Buffalo Police Department as it investigates the incident at Friday evening's Bennett-McKinley game. Again, safety and security continue to be my top priority."
