IHSA Event Security Policy
Beginning this school term, the Illinois High School Association will publish the following "Event Security Policy" in all of its state tournament souvenir programs.
The IHSA is fully supportive of the event staff at its state final venues. The policy is designed to allow everyone who attends to experience a safe and enjoyable IHSA state final.
EVENT SECURITY POLICY
To help insure the safest and most secure atmosphere for this IHSA State Final, event management will diligently maintain established security procedures and activities. This will require complete cooperation by all competing teams, contest officials and fans. Security will always have priority over convenience; therefore, if you are requested to cooperate with event personnel in any manner, please do so promptly. Your assistance will enable our staff to fulfill its responsibilities efficiently.
ALCOHOL AND ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES PROHIBITED
The possession, distribution, sale, possession and or consumption of alcoholic beverages and illegal substances is prohibited on the property of any IHSA state series contest facility. State series hosts are required to make all state series contest sites, including parking lots, fan accommodation areas, and other school or event venue property, alcohol and illegal substance free zones on the date or dates of any IHSA event being held at the site. Event personnel will enforce this policy rigorously.
PERSONS AND POSSESSIONS SUBJECT TO SEARCH
Please note that all persons and their possessions are subject to search upon entering
an IHSA State event venue. Items prohibited under this policy or any item deemed by the
IHSA or event staff to be dangerous or harmful to persons or property will be confiscated.
Patrons of any IHSA state series contest who do not cooperate with event staff in their
enforcement of this policy will be removed from the premises, and law enforcement
officials will be called as warranted. No ticket refunds will be granted in such cases.
