Oakton High School Football

Oakton Cougars Friday Night Lights

Thursday, August 31

Fairfax AT Oakton @ 7:00 pm.

We want you all to participate in our “USA Theme” and show your school spirit!  The cost of all Varsity Football games is $5.00 for students and adults.

To avoid long lines, click  Oakton Tickets and purchase your tickets before the game. The main ticket booth takes cash and prepaid tickets.  If you bought a booster pass, they can be picked up in the activities office or at the ticket gate before the game.

All elementary and middle school students need to be accompanied & supervised by an adult while at the game. High school students who get dropped off must plan to have their rides waiting for them by 9:30 PM. 

We are expecting a very large crowd so please plan on coming early.

If you or your student plans to come, please take the time to discuss the relevant information below:

  • No backpacks, bags or sports equipment will be allowed in the stadium.  (Students and Adults) 
  • No outside food or drinks are allowed. The concession stand will be open.
  • The purpose for students who attend our varsity football games is to watch the game, cheerleaders, band, and dance team.
  • We cheer for Oakton and not against our opponent. All cheers should be positive.
  • The gates to the stadium will open at 6:00 pm.
  • All students need to leave immediately after the game.
  • All spectators are expected to be in the stands. We should not have guests hanging out by the concession stand and hills as well as along the fence line particularly near the teams.  
  • Elementary & middle school students must always be supervised by an adult.
  • If you leave the game, you will not be able to re-enter the stadium.
  • Whistles, air horns and similar noisemakers are prohibited.
  • Anyone caught trying to enter the game without paying will be removed and can be banned from attending future games.

Our goal is to create a positive community event.  Any behaviors that take away from this goal may result in being removed from the game and not being allowed to attend future games.

Go Cougars!
