Jerseys do NOT get in free for homecoming.

Employee badges get staff member plus one family member into the stadium for free; additional tickets need to be purchased.

Tickets will go on sale and gates will open at 5:30pm. Get there early – there will be lines!
-
All students 8th grade and younger need an adult chaperone. The adult must purchase a ticket and enter the stadium with their student(s).
All students 9th grade and older must present a student ID. If a student ID is not present, they will not be allowed in the stadium.
Edina fans with a pass (including Booster and student passes) will enter through the pass gate at the northwest corner of the stadium.
There is no re-admittance for anyone who leaves the stadium for any reason.
Historically, the stadium sells out for homecoming, be aware that…
-
There will be lines until the game sells out.
If someone purchases a ticket and delays entering the stadium, there is no guarantee they’ll be able to enter if the stadium reaches capacity. There will be no refunds.
The home side will sell out first. At that point, Edina fans will be directed to the visitor side.
After the stadium sells out, there is no entry for anyone, even if they have a pass. People will be allowed to enter the stadium as others exit, on a one-to-one basis.
