Hays High School is reminding fans of protocols for attendance at Friday's football game with Liberal at Lewis Field.
ā¢ As guests of Fort Hays State University when using Lewis Field and its parking lot for football games, we are reminded that alcohol is prohibited on the grounds; these games are in support of minors and their high school. The Hays High Administration is always present at events and supervises students and fans in the stadium. We need your help in assisting FHSU and law enforcement in keeping our events at Lewis Field and its parking lot alcohol free; consumption of alcohol at Lewis Field and its parking lot is considered āPublic Possessionā.
