Pittsburgh Public Schools has announced a chaperone requirement for students to attend games at Cupples Stadium.<\/p>\n

The new policy begins Thursday, one week after a shooting injured three teenagers<\/a> near the stadium in the city’s South Side neighborhood following a high school football game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PPS said students under 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult who is 21 or older and who has to stay in the stadium throughout the event.<\/p>\n

All students will need to show a valid student identification to enter the stadium, according to the announcement.<\/p>\n

Gates will close at the start of the third quarter, with no more fans being admitted after the closure.<\/p>\n

“Outside food, drinks and drinking containers, including Yeti, Stanley, Gatorade and similar containers, are prohibited. Only unopened bottles of water will be permitted,” the announcement said.<\/p>\n

A clear bag policy will also be put into effect, starting with the football games scheduled for Oct. 15. PPS said players, coaches and “authorized staff” are exempt.<\/p>\n
