Good evening everyone... for seven months it seems we've been waiting on some type of normalcy.

Watching high school football in september in the south feels pretty normal.

With 25 percent capacity now allowed at stadiums more people will experience that tradition.

Wcbi's bobby martinez is live in starkville with how some schools are handling the new rules... bobby that's right joey, the starkville/west point match-up is a big rivalry game, so tickets will go fast.

And today i talked with yellow jackets athletic director on how fans can purchase a tickets and what rules will be in place at the stadium.

"thankfully the executive order changed and allowed us to go 25 percent which will give us more fans in our stadium.."

It will be a friday night special in starkville .

Two powerhouse football programs ready to lay it out all on the field for the game they love.

Which means tickets will be in high demand..

"tickets go on sale to the general public here for homeside on wednesday from 530 to 7 at the home ticket booth.

But we're going to have a very limited amount of tickets remaining for that but we will be able to sell to our public for that night."

So if you're lucky enough to purchase a ticket... there are some rules owen wants spectators to be aware of... "our community really help us out as well and remember the 3w's wash your hands watch your distance and wear your mask and those are the general guidelines that we are asking all of our people all of our guests to do whether it's our jacket community or our guests from west point."

Owen says this football season will be like no other because of covid19 but is confident his staff will keep spectators safe at games.

"it's new to us all so it's all in details you know.

It's a lot of planning that goes into place making sure the security is in place and we've done a wonderful job through the years, so i don't doubt any of that.

I know that our guys will be ready to handle the crowds that we are going to get."

Owen says gates will open at 5:30 pm and you must have ticket to enter the stadium.
