Graphic shows various sports and reads "stadium rules"

Decatur ISD has re-released rules for our stadium and many other athletic facilities for the 2025-26 school year. Many rules are the same from years prior; however, there are a few new additions.

  • No outside food or drink. Outside drinks pose a safety hazard and also hurt opportunities for our athletic booster clubs to fundraise. Baby bottles and formula are still allowed.

  • Coolers from spectators or guests are not allowed. 

  • No spectators or unapproved individuals on field. Only designated personnel, including players, coaches, approved district staff, game officials, students designated as the “flag crew,” approved media (with an official press pass), or individuals with a pass issued by the athletic director are allowed on the field, including after the game.

  • Adult supervision is required for elementary students. DISD students in Grades 5 and below must be supervised by an adult at all times. Middle school and high school students are allowed to be dropped off, but must remain in the stands throughout the game. This is a privilege that can be revoked for students who do not follow stadium rules.

  • Students must remain in the stands at all times. Students cannot loiter or play games on the “hill” or in the stands, including “side” football games. No ball games of any sport should be brought into the stadium.

  • Enter only through designated ticket gates. No re-entry from the stadium. Guests should enter through the main ticketing gates. The South Gate will remain locked throughout the event, except for the band and colorguard. Re-entry is not allowed for any reason. Individuals who leave will not be permitted to re-enter. 

  • No parking inside of the stadium. Parking is available outside the stadium. Our parking attendants will direct our guests to available spots.

  • Spectators must exit the stadium immediately following the game. All guests should leave the stadium immediately following the end of the game. 

  • Tickets must be purchased online at https://www.decatureagles.net/HTTtickets. All spectators aged 5 years and older must have a ticket. Passes must be shown to gate attendants. The only exceptions to this are specific, printed passes, which include: 

    • UIL passes, coaches’ passes, student athletes passes (must show their Decatur ISD school ID), Silver Eagles passes, Decatur ISD media passes, and any other district-issued pass.

  • Bags are subject to search. Backpacks, purses, and bags are welcome but subject to search at any time by authorized personnel. Bags do not have to be clear. 

  • No vaping, use of tobacco products, or restricted items. No restricted items, including tobacco products, are allowed. This means that smoking, vaping, and use of e-cigarettes are prohibited. 

  • No animals or pets are allowed, with the exception of service animals. Pets and other animals are not allowed to attend.
