All the kids were really upset, talking about how their rights as a student in the student section was taken away," student Adam Maher said.

The letter outlined new rules for Bearcat football fans.
It states general admission students will be assigned to a row based on their class.

Students will also need to ask permission to use the bathroom or get food before and after half time."We don't want to squash school spirit," Asst. Superintendent Tyson Bennett said

Bennett says the policy will help keep fans from lingering in the stadium's foyer.

"We wanted to make sure we have students in the stands for safety purposes and in the stands to cheer the team on," Bennett said.

Boos from parents and students have caught the district's attention but officials are saying 'better safe than sorry' when it comes to safety.

"I think the school spirit passes down to the field and the boys hear it," Blackwell said. "It affects everyone."Elementary age kids are required to sit with an adult and students are not allowed to exit and re-enter the stadium.

The rules start Friday, Oct. 2nd and Sherman ISD says there is no specific incident or cause linked to the new rules.
