After the MHSAA reversed course and said the fall football season could proceed as usual, the Pink Arrow football game in Lowell is also a go.
Pink Arrow Pride organizer Teresa Beachum said once the new game date of September 25th was announced, she and her crew of volunteers went into action. Between the MHSAA limiting spectators in the stadium to two per player and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it was obvious that traditional Pink Arrow events could not occur.
Because of COVID-19 restrictions this year, Pink Arrow Pride organizers are hoping cars will fill Recreation Park in the City of Lowell on Friday night so residents can watch the Lowell vs. the Northview Wildcats game on the big screen.
Gates open at the fairgrounds at 6pm with a kick-off time of 7pm.
Organizers said spectators who wear a current Pink Arrow XIII shirt will get in free.
Persons who don’t have current shirts for family members and prefer not to buy them, can pay an admission of $40 per vehicle.
Beachum said the big screen was ordered and a camera found that would be able to project the game clearly even during daylight hours. The high school radio station, WRWW 92.3, will broadcast the game play-by-play so people will be able to listen on their car stereo while watching the action live-streamed on the big screen. Food trucks are expected to be at the event as well.
She acknowledges that while the 2020 Pink Arrow game won’t be the same as in years past, he hope is the drive-in will be an opportunity for the community come together to support both the high school football team and a good cause.
