State Tournament Information

Pass Gate

1) The pass gate is located at the east entrance to the ball fields. Please enter through the Eastside blacktop parking lot and take the sidewalk to the pass gate. IESA passes will NOT be recognized for non-team members.

2) Team or fan buses should remain parked in the blacktop main parking area. An attendant will assist you from the parking lot. It would expedite entering the complex if a sponsor would collect money from the fan bus members and turn in to the ticket takers. Schools are encouraged to bring fan buses, as there will be plenty of seating available. If your school is bringing a fan bus, please contact Mike Wallace with the total number of students; phone (309-427?5207) or email to wallacem@ by Thursday, October 3rd (if possible). Please go over your IESA packet so that everyone in attendance is in compliance with the IESA spectator guidelines.

3) Gates will open at 8:30 A.M. each day.

4) There will be no charge for parking. Please follow the signs to the proper parking area for the IESA State Baseball Tournament. We will only offer one gate for admission, the main gate at the football field. (The gate at the soccer field will be for volunteers and emergency vehicles only.)
