DOWAGIAC — The Dowagiac football team will open up play at Chris Taylor-Alumni Field on Friday night against Three Rivers.

Due to construction at the north end of the field, some changes have been made until the new entrance and team rooms are completed.

Only handicap and game worker parking will be allowed behind the press box. The area is where the reserved parking has been in previous seasons, but due to the construction, there will be no reserved parking until later in the season.

Parking will be allowed in the lots at Patrick Hamilton Elementary School.

There will be a walk-up ticket booth on the west side of the field between the concession stand and press box. There will also be an entrance on the east side of the field by Patrick Hamilton at the gate known as “Jay’s Gate” (where teams enter and exit the field).

Spectators will be allowed to walk around the south end zone (opposite the scoreboard) to access the home bleachers.
