KSHSAA to Honor Veterans and Active Military with Free Admission to Sectional Football Games

Topeka, Kan.–Active military, veterans, and one guest are invited to watch Kansas student-athletes participating in playoff football this week at no charge. For the second year, the Kansas State High School Activities Association is pleased to provide complimentary admission to all Sectional Championship football games to be played on November 14th and 15th.

Any active military or veteran and one guest will be admitted free of charge, simply by showing their driver’s license, which has a seal indicating the person is a veteran and signifying service. If the individual has not renewed their license in the last couple of years, a veteran ID card or any proof of identification is acceptable.

“This is the second year that we have done this for our those that have served or are serving and we hope to continue this for many years to come,” said Bill Faflick. “We can never fully repay the sacrifice made by those who protect our country and our freedom but we need to recognize them, and say ‘thank you.’”

Sectional football may take place either Thursday or Friday based on facility availability. Host schools may also honor veterans/active military in other ways on gameday.
