Welcome to the Kentucky
Fair & Exposition Center and Cardinal Stadium for the 2000 KHSAA State
Football Championships. Since 1979,
Cardinal Stadium has been home to the four Class State Football Championship
games. We hope you enjoy your visit
covering this weekend’s exciting action, as four state champions will be
crowned. Should you need any
assistance, please notify Butch Cope, KHSAA SID, located in Room 205 of the
Press Box, or Marilyn Mitchell or Peg Wilkins located at the Press Gate or in
the Press Box.
Cardinal Stadium underwent a
$1.2 Million dollar renovation this past summer as a new Astroturf was
installed. In addition to the KHSAA
Football Finals and State Fair events and concerts, the venue is home to the
University of Louisville baseball and field hockey teams and the Central High
School football team.
This is a reminder that the
press box, video deck, radio broadcast areas and field press areas are for
working media only. NO cheering will
be tolerated and spouse/children are not allowed in any of the areas.
This is another reminder that
credentials are issued to working media members only. All credentials are granted to a particular outlet and are
non-transferable. The transferring of
any credential without the consent of the KHSAA is strictly prohibited. Please don’t risk losing future privileges
to KHSAA State Championship events by giving your credential, particularly to a
high school coach, or anyone.
As in the past, there will be
no interview room or interview room sessions.
Post-game interviews are to be conducted on the field following the
game. Coaches will be brought to their
sideline at the 40-yard line (closest to their dressing room) to conduct any
interviews. This will allow the field
to be cleared in preparation for trophy presentations. Player interviews should be conducted on the
SIDELINES off of the playing field, FOLLOWING trophy presentations.
ALL media are prohibited from
being inside the team box area (25-yard line to 25-yard line). This includes just walking through the area
to get to the other end of the field.
Please remain behind the roped area and outside of the team box area to
get to the opposite end of the field.
Photographers/Videographers
are to remain at least five yards back from the “out-of-bounds” marks. Anyone with a photo pass or press box pass
WITHOUT a camera will asked to remained behind the roped area on the
sidelines. Only working
photographers/videographers should be in front of the roped areas.
Satellite trucks will be
permitted to park within the area of the stadium as space allows. Sat trucks should enter through Entrance 4 of
the stadium. Instructions will be given
on where to park your vehicle.
Traditionally, live shots are done from the “Scoreboard” endzone,
closest to sat trucks, up next to the fence.
Please note, NO MERCURY lighting is to be pointed in the direction of
the field while play is in progress. If
you require mercury lighting, you should point your camera and lighting toward
the stands and away from the playing field.
Results will be available in a
timely fashion and passed out in the main room of the Press Box (Room 201) and
brought to radio broadcast personnel.
Results should be posted on the KHSAA website (www.khsaa.org) within 20-25 minutes following
the conclusion of each game.
Score-by-quarters, along with scoring plays and team and individuals
stats will be listed on the site.
Those media members wishing to
obtain updates of games or contact a member of the KHSAA staff may call the
Cardinal Stadium Press Box at (502)363-0998.
