Guidelines

  • All media personnel (print, social, broadcast and photographers) must wear their media credential at all times when on the sidelines.

  • No media allowed in the team area (20-yard line to 20-yard line and designated on the field). Use the track for moving back and forth between sides.

  • All media personnel must remain a safe distance back from the sideline so as not to interfere with officiating crew, chain crew and players.

  • Media personnel may not access locker rooms or other private player/coach areas.

  • Media personnel must follow instructions from district/school administration as well as the officiating crew.

  • Credentials issued by Carthage ISD are only recognized at Bulldog Stadium.

  • Failure to obtain and display credentials or to follow guidelines may result in the loss of sideline access.

  • Carthage ISD personnel are exempt from these guidelines.
