Additionally, personal footballs, toys, and backpacks are prohibited in the stadium, and elementary and middle school students are asked to stay off the field both during and after the game. Attendees are also reminded to walk in the stadium at all times.

The Black & Blue Bowl is a long-standing tradition that brings together the Medford school community, with fans encouraged to show their support for both teams.
