LOCATION: Padua Franciscan High School Stadium (6740 State Road Parma, OH 44134)
TICKETS: All tickets can be purchased online through the Athletic website: TICKETS
Ticket prices are as follows: Adult tickets are $10, senior citizen (60+) tickets are $5 cash at the gate, high school student tickets are $5 cash at the gate, and grade school and younger students are admitted free.
Tickets are available online and can be purchased at the gate with cash, credit and debit cards, but we anticipate long lines for anyone who plans to pay at the gate. Padua's Athletic Department highly recommends all spectators purchase tickets online ahead of time, so the lines at the gate move quicker and make sure they have a ticket for the game.

Smoking and vaping is not permitted on campus and in the stadium, plus no open containers are allowed inside Padua Stadium. Bags are subject to search at any time. No Refunds will be issued.

Parma Police will be monitoring the parking lots and area side streets for anyone who parks illegally in resident's driveways, on both sides of the street or in front of any hydrants.
