DIAA Football Class 1A State Championship Game

---

The Laurel Bulldogs will take on St. Elizabeth on Saturday, December 11th at 6:00 pm, as the game will be played at the University of Delaware.  Tickets will go on sale on Monday, December 6th and will cost $10.  All tickets must be purchased online.  Fans attending the game need to be aware of the University of Delaware's football spectator event policies and procedures as listed below.

All attendees at University of Delaware's football athletic events ages 12 and older, must provide proof of full COVID-19 vaccination or a negative PCR coronavirus test taken within 72 hours of the event.  "Full Vaccination" means that guests have received their final COVID-19 vaccine dose at least 14 days in advance of the day of the game.  Authentic proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test will be accepted as long as the test was taken within 72 hours of the day of the game through a medical or accredited company; please note that "at home tests" will not be accepted.

The University of Delaware has developed a digital system to allow external visitors to upload their COVID-19 vaccination or negative PCR COVID-19 test results before attending a UD sponsored event.  The Visitor Events Health Pass replaces the need for visitors to show paper copies of photo images of vaccination or test records when entering an event.  The pass is integrated with the online UD Daily Health Check.  To expedite event entry, fans should visit covidcheck.udel.edu in advance of event day and upload your proof of vaccine or negative test to the Visitor Events Health Pass, fill out the UD Daily Health Check on the day of the game, and show your green event ticket at the gate for entry.  Fans wishing to show paper copies or photo images of vaccination or test records can still do so, in combination with a green check mark from the UD Daily Health Check, for entry at the event. 

More information detailing health and safety attendance guidelines at the University of Delaware can be found by visiting https://bluehens.com/sports/2021/9/26/delaware-athletics-health-and-safety-attendance-guidelines-aspx
