IHSA

CROSS COUNTRY STATE FINAL SCHEDULE -- 2006-07

Special Notes

State Final Parking Fee:  Admission fees will be collected at each of the parking lots in or adjacent to Detweiller Park. The fees for Cars=$10.00; Van (extended 15 passenger type)=$15.00; Bus=$25.00.  The IHSA encourages spectators to take advantage of this admission price.  Obviously it is far more economical to share the ride with others attending this event.  The admission price is the same for a car containing four people or only one person.  The prices are per vehicle, not the number of people in the vehicle.  Schools, coaches and athletes are encouraged to share this information with their fans.

Pets:  Individuals are prohibited from bringing any type of pet to the State Final, with the exception of service and seeing-eye dogs.
