Starting in the spring of 2024, the Big 8 Conference will be charging for spring sports. That being said, I highly recommend that families consider purchasing passes. Admission is $5 per person and that can add up quickly. Purchasing a pass would allow admission to all sporting events, other than MHSAA Tournaments, for the entire school year. Passes can be purchased at the ticket table at home sporting events. You can pay with cash, check, and credit card.
