IHSA sports open further as state enters Phase 5 recovery plan

Posted

BLOOMINGTON – The state of Illinois moved to Phase 5 as a part of the Restore Illinois pandemic relief plan on June 11. As a result of the move to Phase 5, many IHSA sports and activities have greater autonomy in scheduling, as well as in hosting fans. Some highlights of the move to Phase 5 include:

  • All IHSA sports can now schedule contests/meets with and against any other high school in the state, as well as with out-of-state opponents.
  • There are no longer any spectator limitations. All IHSA host venues, indoor and outdoor, may host fans at 100% capacity.
  • Masks are no longer required for student-athletes, coaches, and officials in low- and medium-risk outdoor sports.

In order to help with social distancing and limit gatherings, the IHSA is utilizing digital ticketing at all remaining Super-Sectional and State Final venues for the remainder of the 2021 school year. GoFan is the official digital ticketing partner of the IHSA. Fans can purchase Super-Sectional and State Final tickets via the GoFan app or at GoFan.co/IHSA.

The IHSA Boys’ Track & Field State Finals will employ Eastern Illinois University’s internal digital ticketing platform.
