Gameday Protocols

Butts County Athletics strives for excellence in all that it does.  Athletic teams are a reflection of the overall quality of the school system, and a commitment to excellence is expected at all levels of the athletic program. Please adhere to the following expectations during our athletic activities.

Service Animals

No dogs except service dogs are allowed. No other pets will be granted entry.

Clear Bag Policy

Clear plastic, vinyl, that does not exceed 12"x12"x6" size are allowed. A clear gallon size Ziploc bag is allowed. No other bags are allowed. If you arrive with a bag not meeting the clear bag policy, you will be asked to return the bag to your vehicle before entry to the athletic contest is granted.  

Ticketing

Once patrons leave the athletic event, they will not be allowed to re-enter. Tickets are available on the  GoFan  app and will be sold throughout the game. Patrons arriving during later portions of the contest will still have to pay. Fans are asked to have their ticket pulled up for entry before arriving to avoid cellular or Wi-Fi difficulties. There will also be a cash option at the Home Gate.

Children 5 years of age and older must purchase a ticket to enter athletic events.

Children 12 years and under must be accompanied by an Adult.

Food and Drink

No Outside food or drinks. Concessions stands will be open.

Sidelines

Sideline access is restricted to coaches, players, cheerleaders, administration, approved statisticians, and approved media. Fans or other unauthorized personnel are not allowed on the sidelines. 

Safety

Butts County Schools reserve the right to subject fans to hand wands or metal detection devices for further safety measures. 

Per GHSA, profanity, degrading remarks, and intimidating actions directed at officials, competitors, or other spectators will not be tolerated, and are grounds for removal from the event site.

NOTE: Patrons are subject to removal from any athletic contest, with no refund, if the above protocols are not followed. For tournaments and multiple team sporting events, the Athletic Director may implement a re-entry protocol to accommodate fans attending these types of events.

Parking

The following guidance is issued for fans attending Jackson High School
home football games during the 2025-2026 school year. 

  • The parking area across from Red Devil Stadium will accommodate a Section for Season Ticket Holders, JHS Touchdown Club members, and VIP guests. Permitted members should enter from Franklin Street.
  • Attendants will be on hand to assist with organized parking. Fans may park in the lot between the baseball field and the Armory for a short walk to the stadium.
  • The parking area between the back of the Board of Education office and the stadium/field house is reserved as handicapped parking for those fans in wheelchairs or who need assistance to and from the car.  Only fans displaying a legal handicapped permit will be allowed to park in this area. This parking will be available first come, first served.


Fans should note Franklin Street between the Board of Education campus and Red Devil Stadium and College Street behind the visitor’s stands will be closed at 5:30 p.m. to all fan vehicle traffic and used for school bus (local and visiting team) traffic only.  

Fans are encouraged to carpool with others as much as possible to reduce the number of vehicles.  Attendees also are reminded to be respectful of residential and commercial property in the area.
Jackson High School and Butts County Board of Education appreciates the cooperation of all city and county agencies during the 2025 football season. Our common goal is to make visiting Red Devil Hill a pleasant experience.
