Manning High School has released details for its 2025 Homecoming celebration at Ramsey Stadium, including ticket sales, parking, tailgating rules, and security procedures.
Advance tickets are available for $10 each until 3 p.m. Friday, Oct. 3. Admission at the gate will be $20 cash only. All individuals entering campus for tailgating must have a game ticket, and no exceptions will be made. Anyone who leaves campus or the tailgating area will be required to purchase a new ticket.
Three entry gates will be open on game day: the Main Gate on Bassard Road behind the cafeteria, the Tennis Court Gate leading from the student parking lot, and the Softball Field Gate located behind the stadium on the road from Manning Junior High School.
Parking will be available in the student and teacher parking lots, with overflow parking at Manning Junior High. Maps released by the school show designated areas for tailgating, vendor parking, law enforcement, and staff.
Security checkpoints and metal detectors will be in place at all entrances, and school officials urge fans to arrive early to allow time for safe entry.
Tailgating setup will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with no entry allowed after 3 p.m. to accommodate school dismissal and bus traffic. Gates will open at 5 p.m. for tailgating and general admission, but pedestrian traffic only will be permitted at that time—cars, trucks, and trailers will not be allowed entry after 5 p.m.
Tailgating will close at 11:30 p.m., and participants are expected to break down tents, remove cooking equipment, and clean up their spaces before leaving.
The school emphasized that once a ticket is scanned at any entry gate, fans may enter and exit Ramsey Stadium freely throughout the evening.
