Dear FISD Mustang Football Fans,
In preparation for the 2020 football season, the Friendswood High School Athletic Department would like to share some new information regarding ticket sales which will be impacted due to COVID guidelines and protocols set forth by the UIL. The Mustang Football schedule has been pushed back to accommodate these changes. The first home game of the season is October 2, 2020, at Henry Winston Stadium. Click here to view the full schedule.
The UIL has also mandated that the capacity at a high school stadium must be limited to 50% this season. As a result of the reduction in seating capacity, FISD will not issue season tickets for the 2020 football season.
For those who have already purchased season tickets, FISD will offer two choices for the 2020 season.
1. Donate the cost of your season tickets. If you would like to donate the cost of your season tickets to FISD, email Amy Roenne at aroenne@fisdk12.net (including parking pass if purchased) no later than Friday, August 21, 2020.
OR
2. Receive a Refund of the cost of your 2020 Season tickets (including parking if purchased). Refunds will be completed by August 31, 2020. Refunds will automatically be issued to those who do not wish to make a donation.
Tickets that were renewed for the 2020 season will be used for renewal for 2021.
