Official ISSMA State Finals Parents' Information
Ticket Sales: If you did not purchase tickets through your school, you will need to get your tickets at the RCA Dome ticket windows located on Capitol Avenue. The windows are on street level across from Pan Am Plaza (east end of the dome) No tickets are sold at the gates. Entry into the stadium will be through Gates 2 and 3 only. Due to increased security, the hand stamp procedure has changed. Spectators who leave the dome must receive a hand stamp only if they plan to return to the stadium later in the day. For readmission, fans will need their original ticket and a hand stamp. Should fans leave with the intention to return, and fail to get their hand stamped, they will need to purchase another ticket to regain admission. The ticket is good for the whole contest day. Admission will be $13.00 for adults and $11.00 for students and pre-schoolers. Babies under two years of age, carried in arm and not occupying a seat, will be admitted free.
Stadium Seating: Gates will open at 9:00am. The contest will begin at 10:00am. There are no reserved seats for this event. All seats are open. Do not block large sections of seats for your school. Plan ahead to arrive as a group and sit together. Let's give all fans a fair chance to find the seat of their choice. Coats, bags and other personal items, left in seats for an extended period of time will be confiscated by security. Stairs to the upper level are located just inside the doors of Gates 2 and 3.
Handicapped Entrance: There will be one handicapped entrance available for use this year. This special entrance is for the use of our fans who are physically challenged and their families. The door is located on Capitol Ave. next to the dome ticket windows. A curbside drop off lane is provided and elevators are there for your use. Special seating areas are available on the main concourse and at field level. Purchase your tickets prior to going into these entrances.
Parking: Public parking is available throughout the downtown area - all lots within easy walking distance to the dome. Due to construction of the new facility, there will be no public parking south of the dome!
Programs: Official programs will be on sale throughout the dome. Price: $4.00.
Official ISSMA T-Shirts: Souvenir T-shirts will be on sale near Gates 2 and 3. The price is $16.00 for small, medium, large, extra large and XXL sizes. Cash purchase only! No checks or credit cards!
