- Who needs to buy a ticket? Everyone 2 years and older must have a ticket to get in the arena.
- Is there a "clear bag policy"? No, but all bags are subject to search. ISU staff strong discourages anyone bringing a bag into the arena. Large backpacks will not be allowed. No outside food or drink.
- Will the game be streamed? Currently, we have been told that NFHS will be broadcasting the game but there is not a link available at this time. Please watch for updates on the NFHS website throughout the day.
