Upper Darby High School bars general public from winter sports home events

UPPER DARBY, Pa. (KYW Newsradio) — Following a fight last month at a basketball game, the Upper Darby School District tweeted there's been a change to winter sporting event procedures.

According to the new policy, the general public is no longer permitted to attend all Upper Darby High School winter sports home events, including wrestling and basketball.

Before each event, the Upper Darby School District team and the visiting team will have to submit a list of invited parents and family members in order for them to buy a ticket.

Students from the visiting team must show school photo ID to buy a ticket. The visiting team has to provide a list or have an administrator at the gate to approve the entry of each person. 

Under the new policy, violators of the district's code of conduct could face disciplinary action, or criminal prosecution for violation of the Pennsylvania Crimes Code.

Students are also reminded not to bring backpacks or large bags to games, nor outside food and drinks, and to bring student ID to all events.
